Deep golden body with an average, fizzy, white head, mostly diminishing with a poor lacing; average density of large particles.
Light malty (grains) aroma with some notes of hops (flowers) and alcohol (spices).
Flavour is mainly sweet, due to malts and alcohol.
Medium body with an oily texture; flat carbonation; heavy alcoholic warming in the finish - not pleasant and more intense than expected from the ABV.
Nothing to remember...

50 cl. picked up from the nightshop. Drank straight from the can. Smell is sweet rye, caramel, black bread & raw booze, less bad than expected. Thaste is a mix of very bitter leaves, bark & forest upfront followed by brown sugar, rye, dark bread, hersb & raw unfiltered booze. Pretty okay to drink but feels heavier than 6.6 % ABV. Okay by Gordon standards.

Picked up a can of this on a recent trip to Belgium.
A-Looks like an American pils-crystal clear and straw yellow with a white sticky head.
S-Not much beyond your normal American lager, just a hint of ale yeast.
T-A little bit of fruity yeast esters, gets stronger as the beer warms. Otherwise not that far off from PBR.
M-Thin, highly carbonated, alcohol warming finish.
D-ok
O-Nothing outstanding here, a cheap beer for mass consumption. Weak malt backbone, just a hint of Belgian yeast to give this any character.

A: clear straw-blonde colour, decant head, quite a lot of carbonation
S: not much there, some hops, a hint of lemon, some alcohol
T: tastes a bit like a sweeter and hoppier pilsner with a lot of alcohol. There is also a corn and metallic taste that isn't really pleasant but doesn't completely wreck it.
M: rather thin, but okay; i would want less but stronger carbonation, too much alcohol
O: is this a bad beer not really, but it's good as a strong Belgian blond beer. It belongs to the stronger pilsner-like beers like Jupiler Tauro. You won't seek this out unless you want a stronger but not a particularly good beer.
