dyetube (397), Dallas, Texas, USA Apr 19, 2008 this beer pours a hazy yellow with a medium white head. I thought this was well crafted for an imperial pilsmer. Really captures a pilsner doubled. Nice hoppiness and not too sweet. The finish is dry which really compliments this brew well. Go and grab one! You’ll be glad you did! Cheers! Trev (850), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA Apr 14, 2008 Bloody pricey but my brother wanted the bottle for his collection.
Glad I tried it though.
Poured a cloudy golden orange with a nice thick head. Orange peel and clove coming though in the aroma with a nice hoppy flavour and a dry malt. I would probably love this on tap, top quality pilsner for me. Snojerk321 (1919), San Diego, California, USA Apr 8, 2008 Big ceramic bottle from bottletrek.com Very disappointed with this beer after all the hype. At first pour there was very good color (a mostly clear, bright golden yellow). A big, white billowing head with great lacing. Aromas of Pilsner malt and hops. the flavor started of very strange, chemical on the back of the tongue. As the brew warmed it became much more enjoyable. Who knows, I might have gotten an old bottle. ksurkin (356), Norfolk, Virginia, USA Mar 30, 2008 draft at sushi murasaki in greenville. pours a light golden color with a small, bright white head. aroma is dry hops and basic malts that does not really stand out. flavor is good with big malty overtones and some hop bitterness that lasts through the sip. aftertaste was dry making you want another sip. mouthfeel was thin but not watery. not bad for a pilsner. BeerZack (116), Austin, Texas, USA Mar 23, 2008 On tap @ Rogue Public House Portland
Pale orange-straw color, slight bit cloudy with small head that does some lacing.
Sweet light Pils malt, floral bouquet with a bit of grassy hops and some graininess.
Initial grainy Pils malt flavor builds to a bit of sweetness before the bitter floral hop bite comes to clean the palate.
Moderate/medium mouthfeel, soft yet substantial. Pretty good for a Double Pils, but still not that drinkable. Blom (390), Odense, Denmark Mar 21, 2008 Tasting session at Vinens Verden, Odense, 2007. The bottle is quite a piece of artwork in itself. Hazy golden with a low head. Grassy aroma along with some sweet malts. The flavour starts out like biscuits, pacman yeast and caramel, but then the hops starts kicking in aggressively and makes it a bitter finish. I do not find any resemblance to the lager-tradition.
mcferc4 (55), New Jersey, USA Mar 20, 2008 Reasonable head, good, strong, flowery aroma. Cloudy gold color. Very nice taste, a welcome change from the IPA’s that I’ve been drinking lately. A sort of spicy hoppiness. A bit fizzy in the mouth, but goes down smooth with a nice aftertaste. Very good, well-balanced. Makes me feel like an Iron Chef. daknole (2810), Plantation, Florida, USA Mar 19, 2008 Great sushi beer! Golden color with a nice head. Flavor is hoppy but not to the point of being bitter. Has a rich mouthfeel and a nice finish.
