COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The latest in our “Imperial” line of beers, this 8% abv version of our pilsner is maltier, hoppier, and just all around bigger. We changed up the recipe a bit including a richer malt base (Pilsner Malt, 6 Row, and Munich). Czech Saaz was used in the boil and for dry hopping. This is a smooth brew, fruity up front with a full body and a long, dry finish.

Kinz (2693) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - DEC 4, 2005

Cask version at Capital Ale House. Immense floral aroma catches your attention before you can even look at it. Appearance is a hazy gold, with good lacing from the small head. Flavors are floral, some almost candy anise, and a dry bready finish. Fantastic stuff.
