Winterfest 08. A fairly grainy nose with alcohol cutting through some faint hops. Rough finish.

On draught during the Winterfest 2008 in downtown St. Paul, Minnesota. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a thick white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of light golden multi-grain malt, some popcorn butter, light citrus zest and a touch of white pepper. Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of multi-grain malt, sweet butter, and a touch of flowery hop character. Finish is slightly gritty, semi-dry and a metallic texture from the high alcohol and maybe a touch of diacetyl. An interesting imperial pilsener.

Draft at Winterfest ’08. First whiff clearly reveals buttery diacetyl. Slightly hazy, mostly clear yellow body with large bubble head. Diacetyl also evident in flavor. Some hops at the back of the tongue. Despite the flaws, an ok beer.
