Had this as part of a sampler at a Brussels restaurant for lunch. I love that each "sample" was at least 8 oz.
A-Golden/yellow and very clear. Has a very white sticky head.
S-Pretty standard-weak crystal malt with a hint of bittering hops.
T-Clean, not a lot of flavor, but then again I don't think it is supposed to.
M-high carbonation, slight to medium hoppy (spicy) aftertaste.
D-Fine-nothing special.
O-A good pale lager, but not much going on. Move on.

Clean, blonde appearance. Average foam.
Ceral malt in the smell. Standard.
Standard body.
Standard aftertaste.
It can be drank, in a standard mode. But why?

Clear straw gold. Attractive medium head. Good lacing. Straightforward, malt, yeast, cereal, sweet overtones for flavour and aroma but somewhat non-descript. Crisp with medium bitterness and low carbonation. Enjoyable.

500 ml can, bought in Denmark. ABV is 5%. Pale golden colour, moderate white head. Sweetish aroma with grassy and fruity notes. The flavour is medium sweet with some pilsener malts, grassy notes again, tolerable hoppy bitterness in the finish.

250ml Keg at Magic Rubens, Brussels (€3.00):
Quite a basic & at times cheap tasting lager than was bland for the most part with some light bitterness & grassy touches. There was touches of sweetness from some corn before a few bread malts came through along with the odd vegetable adjunct but it was a poor offering & probably the worst I had when in Belgium too.

Typical euro-lager but something a little different. Easy to drink, good character for a lager and was very refreshing as it was served very cold on a such a hot day. I would drink it again.
