The beer pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head. The nose is dry and sweetly hoppy. The flavor is an amazing full hoppyness with a hint of grassiness and malts. The finish is clean and dry.

Slightly hazy yellow. Taste is resinous grass like a noble hop extract. High sweetness into the finish. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Poured golden Orange with a light head and a slightly fruity aroma. The bitterness of the hops was a welcome change to most puke I’ve tried. Finished slighty bitter with a slightly fruity taste akin to pineapple

Pretty hoppy but overall good taste. Stout but smooth. Love the bottle. Pretty pricey but good quality.

great pilsner its like a high end hieneken. with body and puls you just gotta have that bottle.

Bottle from Mane Liquor. Not going to go into this. Its solid without being remarkable. Easy drinkability which is what I expect from imperial pilsners

An excellent and very complex pilsener. Aroma of lemony hops, sweet malt, and some yeast. Appearance is very hazy, but no suspended particles. Color is hazy gold, and the head is medium in size and foamy with remnants of soapy lacing on the glass. Taste starts off with lightly bitter hops, but finishes dry and sweet, even a little oaky. The dry bitter hops linger on the palate. This is an excellent beer to take to your favorite BYOB Sushi restaurant,.

Draft. Pours a hazy golden orange with a small head and minimal lacing. Smell is grain and some floral hops. Taste is so much more alcoholic than the 8.8% should be. Taste is sweet rice/grain with straight sugar crystals. Just overly grainy and way too sweet with too much booze. Not a beer to my liking.

tap at pap 3/10/11. maybe hazy...i can’t tell since the glasses here are filthy. rich straw color with a big soft airy white head. lots of florals and alcohol in the nose.... along with pils, apple juice, white grape juice, grain husks, citrus and juniper. the palate is a touch sweet yet grainy bitter on the end. lots of alcohol is present along with the rest of the notes from the aroma. it is kinda harsh... much like a cleaner hoppier version of cheap euro lager. meh. 6/4/6/3/13

Hazy amber/orange color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of sweet malt, some yeast, floral hops, caramel, & citrus; Flavor of sweet malt, pine/floral hops, caramel, citrus, and spice; Finish is bitter with some alcohol; Nicely balanced; Overall, very tasty pils - cool bottle.

Appearance: Nice golden color Smell: Floral and Hoppy Taste: A very good balance of sweet pineapple-like taste and a ripened grapefruit bitterness. Overall: Best pilsner hands down! I give it 95 as a beer, 100 as a pilsner!
