COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed with 100% organic ingredients and weighing in at 7.6% ABV and 67 IBUs, this is definitely NOT your father’s pilsner. It has all of the big bold flavors you expect from craft beer while retaining the quenching drinkability of a pilsner. Brewed with bottom-fermenting yeast and traditional German noble hops for a flavorful brew with a crisp, clean flavor profile, medium malt body and a dry finish with a slightly salty character.

Tap. Golden with small head. Pils style beer with a strange strong but dull bitterness.

Newk (299) - - SEP 23, 2012

Had from tap at the Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti. Pours a clear gold color with a nice head. Crisp and fresh with very nice aromas of crackers, grains, some citrus and noble hops. Good depth as well. Medium bodied with a nice smooth feel. There is good weight as well with nice flavors of crackers, citrus and some noble hops. This is a real good imperial pilsner. Holds the bigger style fairly well and doesn’t come off as boozy.

TipsyMcStager (1114) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - JUL 13, 2010

aroma is grassy with some hops. Pours hazy pale yellow with frothy head. Some maltiness. Finish is grassy again with drying finish.

Styles (2014) - Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA - JUN 28, 2010

Again, not into slamming beers, but come on. Chalky, murky blonde. Brand new keg. Aroma smells like cooked cabbage, with a hefty dose of hop character. Flavor is full of yeast, sulfur and muddy hop character. Chalky palate. If this is clean, would like to see dirty.

deyholla (4784) - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA - MAY 21, 2010

On tap. Pours a hazy gold with a green hue and a white head that laces nicely. Aroma is a combination of pine hops and grainy malts. Flavor is more one note with the pine dominating.
