A: Golden honey with slight cloudiness, lots of carbonation, the off white head faded as fast as a soda’s.
S: Smells like a lager with a slight lemony, cranberry tartness. Has a Belgian yeast quality to it much like one they use in pale ales and some triples.
T: Taste totally follows the nose. Although its listed as a Euro Pale Lager, really looks and tastes like a Witbier. I get a lemony zest, the Belgian yeasts I mentioned, and a slight cranberry.
M: Very light body, highly carbonated resembling a soda.
O: Love the bottle and label which totally make it look and feel like a homemade brew done by a small family establishment. The taste is great. Would pair well with sharp cheeses. Love that I found it and was able to try it even though its listed as retired.

Bottle: Poured a bright golden color ale with a big pure white foamy head with god retention and good lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some spices and some yeast. Taste is also comprised of a balance mix between some spices (maybe from yeast?) and some sweet Belgian malt with a slightly hoppy dry finish. Body is quit full with some great carbonation. I though this was well conceive and very refreshing.

Ultrasoif poured in with a nice white and longlasting head. Color is gold but quiet some haze with it.
Nose is fruity, lots of yeastesters but also in form of yeastspice. Next to that aromatic alcohols( despite it only having 5%ABV) and litle phenolic.
Taste is sweetmalty and creamy in the beginning but fastly going into a good and pleasant bitterness.
Sampled bottle was best till 1-2009.

Pours a light golden pilsener, some haze to it; with a thick wite head leaving good lacing. Some spicy aromas, hops and some lighter, almost saisony yeast notes to it as well. Initially dulled sweetness, then a wave of lightness and weak yeast tones abound in this 5%er. I thought it may have been a session singel, or something. Must say I was duped a little. I enjoyed it very much so. I'd go back to it whenever.

Full yellow colour, quick disappearing head.
The smell is very light: just some malt and, maybe, a light hop bitter.
At the taste the bitter is more noticeable (after a while, you can feel it even in the smell, with some spices and fruity); frutity notes.
In the aftertaste even some herbaceous, with the hop.

Brasserie dEcaussinnes: Ultra-Soif.
Strength: 5.0% ABV.
Style: Pale Lager.
Served on Draft; One of 5 x 25cl Glass Samplers (5 Total).
Tasted at the Farmhouse Café (Sampling Room), during a Brewery Visit to the Brasserie dEcaussinnes, on 18th April 2003.
Appearance: Exceptionally clear light, pale yellow color that could easily be mistaken for any one of a number of Euro-Pils offerings. Its appearance is nothing special.
Smell: A light malt nose, some hop-bitter character - buts it's very mild. Being outside made the lighter nosed offerings difficult to examine, but even deep inhalation revealed little.
Taste: The first few mouthfuls were to quench our thirst worked up from the Brewery Trip and the hot sun. After that, light roasted malts, some grain at the start, but has a really nice, almost feather-like bitterness that builds to maximum strength in the middle and end. The bitterness though is talcum powder soft, but it is always there from start to finish.
Mouthfeel: Light, but ever present. A tap-dancer rather than a weakling though.
Drinkability: A light Lager that goes down easily. Inoffensive, and with its crisp, clean lines it has a nice, if a tad too light for me, hop-bitterness in the finish.
Overall: Most Breweries throughout the world make one. Whatever you elect to call it, it is a beer that appeals to the masses. Ultra-Soif, is this kind of offering from Brasserie dEcaussinnes. Soif actually means thirsty, and this beer certainly quenches the thirst extremely well. It is indeed incredibly drinkable, and a very pleasant quaffing beer. It started as a Summer beer, but is now a 5th permanent addition to the other 4 year round beers.
The Brewer, Hugues, refused to call it a Pils, as he could have easily done if he had wanted to join the rest of the Czech-Bastardizers. But he always referred to this offering as a Bière blonde, or a Pale Lager I somehow admired him for that. Ironically, with its soft bitterness, this is more Czech than most of the widely available Euro-Pils in Belgium!
