500 ml can #9 from the 2023 Costco Advent calendar. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head and great retention. Very good lacing too. Sharper pilsner malt aroma. The flavor is not as sharp as the aroma. Tastes like a standard lager, but with a definitive dry pilsner malt finish. A little sweet bread and citrus in the mix too. Clean, smooth, and flavorful. The 6.5% ABV is very well hidden. Medium body and medium carbonation. Lightly bitter.

Das letzte Bier einer Kalea-Dosenbierbox von Hofer. Es kann mich zwar nicht begeistern, aber ich muss zugeben, dass des den Stil des IMperial Pils ausgezeichnet trifft und ich diesen Stil einfach nicht besonders mag. So ist es im Körper recht leicht und sehr spritzig, aber wir dann bis zum Abgang und Nachhall sehr schwer und man merkt den Alkohol deutlich. Etwas für Freunde von extra starken Bieren, die es nicht zu bockig-süß mögen.
