Commercial Description:
Golden in color with a dry hop floral aroma and intense hop bitterness supported by a big malty backbone which culminates into a hedonistic mouthfeel. Yee haw!

An unclear golden beer with a decent head. The aroma is real sweet. The taste is sweet with a thicker body than a regular pilsner & hidden alcohol but is way too expensive & not worth the price tag except you get a nice bottle.

Pours a clear/bit hazy light yellow-gold from the 750ml swing-top ceramic bottle: The aroma is sweet for a pils and the taste is bold. Dry malts, and bitter hops dominate while some florals balance the overall feel. Drinkability: Strong and generous flavors- I definitely didn’t expect to like it this much. Rebuy: Probably not only because it’s wicked expensive, but would like to enjoy it again. #160 on 25102009, DG.

750ml Bottle. Golden in color with a medium head and carbonation. Slight hop aroma but tremendous hops in flavor. Thought I was drinking India Pale Ale at first. Only a slight note of pilsner but great full hop flavor none the less that gives way to a slight bitter finish. A good, tasty brew that I would be happy to have more of.

Bottle 750ml swing-top. Poured hazy golden orange with an averaged sized, sticky foamy, off-white head which was most lasting. A fruity hop aroma with floral notes; sweet biscuity malts, caramel, overripe kiwifruit, canned pineapple and peaches. Flavor was a good spicy hop bitterness with sweet biscuity malts, caramel, hop resins, white pepper, kiwifruit, passionfruit, overripe nectarines and a dry grassy finish. Medium bodied with medium carbonation, a dry hoppy mouthfeel, slick texture and a long length finish. Extremely well balanced, very moreish – almost seasonable.

Golden with quickly disapating white head. Noble hop aroma with honey-malt backing. Hoppy flavour. Tastes of pilsner malt. dty finish. Alchohol increases as beer is drank. Medium body. very nice sipper

On tap at Rattle n Hum. Imperial pilsners are great. You get that crispness of a lighter beer with the alcoholic kick of a heavier beer. The Morimoto is a fine example of this preference. Pours a light yellow with a rich white head. Nose is dry hops and mild malt. Flavor is slightly bitter and hoppy. Body is decently carbonated. Overall a great experience.

On tap at Newport pub location. Pours yellow with very little head. Mild aroma of some sugars, citrus, florals, funk and alcohol. Tastes of floral hops, finishes bitter and earthy with a tinge of alcohol.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a medium white head. Aroma has hops, straw, spice, floral notes. Flavor is hops, spice, pineapple, malt, grass, bread, and citrus. Bitter, spicy, fruity, medium-bodied, and a mild bitter finish. I never expected something this good with ’Pils’ on the bottle. Excellent for the style and I’ll now be seeking out some other best-in-class of this type.
