Jan 30, 2008 April 2006 - Okay, I’m not a fan. It looked great, big head, crystal clear, but I have to DRINK them, not gaze at them affectionately (the lacing was really sweet, though). This beer had a really nice hop twang, but was really, really too sweet for my liking. Okay, but there are other, nonimperial pilsners that taste better and don’t consume liver space.

Jan 27, 2008 This poured a clear golden color with a foamy medium sized white head that left behind lace all over the glass. The aroma is of citrus fruits, malts, bread, yeast, and some floral hops. The flavor starts out with the sweet citrus fruit and malts with some bready flavors then followed by floral and citrus hops. The flavors seem to complement each other nicely. This one is medium bodied and smooth drinking that has a nice long bitter finish from the hops. The is a solid imperial pilsner and one I would drink again.

Jan 20, 2008 Bottle. Clear gold-straw color with massive off-white head. Malty nose that is well done. Sweet grain malt body with a faint metallic tinge on the finish.

Jan 19, 2008 Gorgeous golden shower pour, leaves more frothy lacing like a morning pee. Smells much better than that would too, and is easier to drink. Aroma is citrus fruit and chamomile flower. Alcohol is apparent in the taste but not the nose. Clean noble hop finish. Aftertaste also has strong citrus rind bitterness and juice of sour orange throughout. Is that kumquat or loquat? Palate is thick and chewy like an oatmeal cookie.

Jan 17, 2008 Courtesy 4-pack at Total Wine. Pours a nice golden color with 1 inch of white frothy head. Nose is wheat and hops. Same flavors with biscuits, slight citrus, and a hint of alcohol astringentness. Creamy and comforting body. Smooth finish. Definitely the best pilsner (or lager according to ratebeer?) I’ve ever had, although I’m not usually a big fan of the style. However, despite the 9% ABV, this is very overpriced at $13 a 4-pack.

Jan 15, 2008 for my 400th bear i chose a style that i normally don’t like much.
pour is golden with a small off-white fizzy head.
smell of grain, touch of citrus, some floral, a hop or two.
taste is nicely crisp, hops from the start, grain, touch of fruit, some citrus, ends a little tart with a bitter aftertaste, which for us that like hoppy brews it is a nice addition.
