text: Bought at March du Bois (boul. des Forges, T-R), 6/11/03, stored cool dark, 2600 miles in my trunk. The head is medium-sized, slightly cream-colored, coarse and noisy. The beer is a straight, clear amber. Nose is schpoonque and peanuts. There's a tart, citrus zing in the front and a tangy middle. There's some maltiness in there, but not much. When cold, the finish is metallic and a little astringent. As it warms, there's some ok bitterness and nuttiness. Overall, this is a pretty boring attempt at an amber lager. Unibroue should stick to Belgians.
