Bocholt Premium Lager

This is a 5.0% ABV Belgian lager, brewed by Brouwerij Martens in Bocholt, Belgium. I found this at Walmart, and all the online comments I have seen indicate those persons found it at Walmart as well. The brewery website highlights their private brand partnerships, so I am guessing this is probably brewed exclusively as a Walmart brand. 

The beer pours clear and golden, with nearly an inch of white head. The aroma is hay, straw, fresh bread, and a touch of honey. The taste follows the aromas, hitting the same notes. The beer drinks smooth, with refreshing carbonation, and a dry finish. The bitterness is moderate. This is a solid Euro lager, very drinkable, with quite decent taste.  This was priced at less than what a domestic six pack of Bud/Miller/Coors would cost, so if you want a much better lager than those at a bargain price, this will do it.
