Pours a clear golden color from the bottle into the glass. A small amount of head with a little lacing. The head dissapeared pretty quickly.
Aroma - 2.0
A little sweet malt aroma with a slight note of hops. At the beginning it had a skunky smell but after drinking about 1/4 I could make out the other aromas.
Mouthfeel - 3.0
Medium carbonation and feel.
Taste - 3.0
A clean crisp taste with a slight fruit taste on the very end followed by a metallic taste. Bitterness lingers after swallowing.
Overall - 4.0
Very drinkable, easy to throw back a few, but I wouldn't say it's the best that belgium has to offer. Just slightly above average.

Pours very clear and a very yellow colour. The white head leafing no trails as it dissipates.
Aroma - 2.5
A simple semi-sweet almost sour smell almost like that of a lemon.
Mouthfeel - 3.0
A clean light feeling feel to the mouth.
Taste - 2.5
A metallic taste follows you through the whole beer even after you finish it.
Overall - 2.5
Not bad for throwing back or helping keep refreshed in the summer but that's about all it's good for to me.
