Tasting at Matt's, 5% ABV, bottle
Pale blond colour, greenish, hazy. Nice aroma of honey and hay. Dry, with a decent malt backbone, and mild grassy hops.
Nice.

500mL bottle, pours a fairly clear dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of lager yeast, grassiness, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is crisp and clean, with lots of grassy notes, gentle dry hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Grassy and crisp. Very nicely made.

500ml at Matt's amenity room. Appearance: hazy pale straw with a white head. Aroma: Saaz hops. Taste: same stuff in here with a high hoppy bitterness. Overall: probably a good lager for those who like classic lager hops.

Golden, maybe a touch of chill haze. Medium head. Stale grass and sort of mildew. Touch of hop on the palate, grassy, not bad. The pale malts are getting there, but it's also a bit sticky.

(Draught at Chez Moeder Lambic Original, Brussels, 20 Oct 2018) Golden colour, slightly hazy, with dense off-white head. Malty nose with notes of bread, grass and citrus. Malty taste with bread, grass, hay and a mild herbal bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Hardly groundbreaking, but tasty and well made. Quite enjoyable.

Draft @ Ermitage Taproom. Apparently done by some folks who interned at Cantillon and fell in love with Union St Gilloise - the hype is real with this football team - in the vein of Stoemeling. Dorée ambre dorée, col blanc. Arôme est de suite marqué par une effluve de DMS, le tout est très 'buttery' avec de fines notes de houblonné noble et malt cara pils. Palais est sur une approche plutôt allemande au niveau de la levure, cependant le tout reste assez approximatif et rendant de mauvais note de douceur de beurre de ferme. Ce défaut enlève pas mal du caractère 'lager' initialement recherché.
