A pleasant malt and citrus nose, frothy white head and a light golden body. This is a fresh tasting and refreshing imperial. The taste profile features citrus, orange and floral accents. Bready malts, a touch of pepper with a hint of honey round out a very tasty summer beer. A little light on some pilsner characteristics, but tasty and well made nonetheless.

Tap at c’est what?
Clear golden pour, medium white head. Aroma is grassy, but quite sweet, with a solid pale malt base, with some alcohol in the background. Mouth feel is full, and the carb is very soft. Finish is more bitter than i expected, and there is a big amount of sweetness that the grassy hops cant see to cut through.

Blonde with a little orange sitting below a creamy white head. Mild hay nose with grass, touch of resin hops, a little grass. Mild taste of sweet cerial malt, bittering hops, thoughts of tangerines. Not mind blowing just alright.

Bottle from the LCBO. Clear medium gold with a generous off white head that leaves spotty lace. Nose is bready malt with some floral and honey notes. Light sweet honey and fruit start with an unexpected medium light bitterness with some spice in the finish. Medium creamy mouth with soft carbonation. Not being a Pilsener fan I was pleasantly surprised.

Pours a clean golden colour with a slight orange hue. Big warm cap, frothy, long lasting and with wavy foam lacing. Fruity aromas with some pils hops of fresh mild grass and hints of Belgian Ale yeast. The taste is more where the pils hops shine. Nice grassy zest in the finish. Alcohol very well-hidden. Decent fruity malt. Becomes hazy at last pour. Not exactly what I expected. Just better. A nice limited release.

Bottle: Poured a light hazy beige color ale pilsner with a nice pure white foamy head with good retention and great lacing. Aroma of light cereal notes with light dry green hops notes. Taste is a mix between some light cereal notes with a dry light hoppy finish. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. A bit short on character overall but I enjoyed the way the residuals sugar was well balanced.
