Union Bhoys Lager was brewed in celebration of the soccer team in Brussels, Belgium: Union St-Gilloise. This lager was brewed with both wheat and barley, giving it a hazy yellow colour. It has floral and melon fruit aromatics, with clean malt, honey dew, and lychee flavours followed by a dry, lightly bitter finish.

500ml glass (a so-called metric pint) at Biera. A brew made in celebration of the Union St-Gilloise Belgian soccer team.
This beer appears a hazy, medium banana yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy bone-white head, which leaves some decent randomly webbed lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a mild lager yeastiness, some muddled light orchard fruitiness, a damp minerality, and some plain earthy, musty, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, dried Granny Smith apple peel, fading estery yeast, ethereal tropical fruity notes, and more understated earthy, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly benign in its lackadaisical frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and mostly smooth, with just a touch of yeast astringency taking things down a notch or so here. It finishes trending dry, the crackery nature of the malt steering us in that particular direction.
Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, with a restrained hop character that is redolent of the better Continental iterations that I have thus far sampled. Worth checking out, even if you have absolutely no idea or opinion concerning Belgian professional soccer.
