1year old bottle. Pours a hazy reddish yellow color with a small soapy head. Aroma of hops, yeast and malts. Flavor is malts, hops, corn, and grass but very well put together. No way this is 9%. The alcohol in this has sure mellowed after a year.

750ml from Liquid Solutions (2006). This one is probably the best of the impy pilsners I’ve tried, even though it was a bit pricey. A very strong yeasty aroma coming from a big hazy light orange pour. Strong sweet malts and pepper in the nose. Upon tasting it’s less harsh than you might expect from that, with even a trace of honied sweetness. Booze is detectable, warming, but not overpowering. Good one.

Bottle. Pours a golden body hence the name golden shower. Real classy design here i laughed. Hoppy all the way with a moderate malt base, some light fruit and caramel. eh.

pours a dehydrated piss color with a decent head that goes down with a quickness. notes of honey although its not sweet in aroma and nice noble hop grassy. like a pils on crack. flavor is likewise, enjoyble and not as strong as the abv would suggest. nice i like the fresh grass and hey, its lawnmower beer if you have a small lawn and have to get the job done quick. i wish they kept the old name

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear dark golden/orange colour with a small white head. Fresh noble grassy hops, minerals with fruity undertones of apricots. Medium to full-bodied with notes of apricots, tangerine, minerals and grassy elegant hops. Gives an extremely well-balanced impression. Long finish of grassy and mineraly hops with fruity undertones of yellow fruit. Much better than Samuel Adams version IMO.

pours gold yellow with a small amount of head. smell is astringent and grassy. sips is too heavy on the hops, some citrus in the background. aftertaste is a little funky and earthy, like a cheap megabrew. im not a big pilsner fan, and this doesnt do anything to sway me. bleh.
