Bottle at home. Aroma is pale malt, sweetish fruits and hops, ripe citrus, touch of pine resin, soft yeasty and floral notes, mild stone fruits. Flavour is above moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter. Body is medium with lively carbonation. Pleasantly surprised by this one, quite a tasty ’Imperial Lager’.

Bottle from Premiere Gourmet in Buffalo, brought home by my wife before the covid-pocalypse. Pours a cloudy rich gold, layer of sustaining white head. Sweet malty nose with citrus and fresh raw eggs. Taste a little booze, thick caramel malt, a little citrus, that touch of egg again. It's really good.

Tap at Gainsbar. Honey, tripel type feel, light fruit, lots of sweet maltiness. Quite full bodied. Don't get much of the lager/pils, but plenty of strength.

Bottle from Struise Shop, Bruges.
Pours clear golden with a frothy, off-white head. The aroma contains apple, yeast, grain, 'wort', some banana and mango, bitter hops. It tastes light fruity sweet and light to medium grainy bitter with yeast notes; dry, grainy finish, some wry alcohol. Medium body, slick texture, lively carbonation. I must have missed something, I did not enjoy this...
