3.58/5 rDev -5.5%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Best before November 2011.

A: Amber with a clumpy white head and some lacing.

S: Muted. Some caramel malt and floral hops and a weird sweet and sour thing as it warms.

T: Pretty much the same as the smell: caramel and bready malt with some citrus and floral hops. The sweet malt and sour citrus hop thing stands out quite a bit.

M: Not too light or thin and not as "crisp" as one expect of a lager (and that isn't a bad thing in this lager).

O: Highly drinkable.

4.04/5 rDev +6.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

Appearance: Poured into glass, amber coloured, beige foam that disappeared quickly and low on carbonation;
Smell: A bit of citrus and caramel malts;
Taste: Low complexity of citric flavors - orange and lemon. I guess I've tasted some vanilla in it.
Mouthfeel: Floral, and medium intensity on mouth with a slightly bitter finish;
Overall: It's nice to drink it, it's a good lager after all. But even though I had medium-low expectations on this, I was expecting more.

355ml bottle, poured into La Chouffe tulip.

A: Bronze copper, slight haze, large off white head, decent lacing plus retention.

S: Citrus, floral and slightly milky.

T: Fruity, floral, bitter finish.

M: Crisp, light body, well carbonated and smooth, very easy drinker.

O: One of the best lagers around, reminded me of a well hopped Kellerbier.
