    Yes indeed, the greatest beer. Probably the only reason Belgium still exists.

    On a sunny day, with a slice of lemon in it, yes!

    More than two or three pints and it gets a bit much though - definitely couldn't drink it all night. Real summer beer for me.

    It's one of those beers you're best off buying in glasses rather than in pints as well.

    There's a similar Belgian beer that they only sell in the summertime that is made with the same strand of yeast they use to make Champagne with. Very fond memories of living in Holland, lying in a hammock in a cherry orchard after work on a summer afternoon with a bucket of ice, a few of those, a pair of headphones and a big bag of weed.

    I'm not a fan. Find it too sweet and sickly.

    O'Hara's Irish Pale Ale or Galway Hooker would be the type of beer I enjoy, however taste is subjective. I love the hoppiness of that style of beer.

    It is better than most mass produced lagers though.

    If you want to freak out an Irish barman, try pronouncing it correctly - with a Flemish (Dutch) accent. The first part sounds like "hook" but with a "ch" (as in "loch") at the end. The rest rhymes with "garden", but longer. Hoeg-aar-den. :P

    Proving my point that while you may well have an excellent and refined taste in vaginal secretions your knowledge of the world's beers and how best to enjoy them is limited and unsophisticated at best.

    Its a nice drink alright but its too sweet after a few pints(half litres for the pedants). Think of it like the sweet(Bulmers) equivalent of regular cider.
