Rogue Morimoto Imperial Pilsner

Pours nicely with a thick head. Sweet, flowery smell, but not pungent. Nice initial taste with a burst of bitterness, much like an old, european pilsner (Pilsner Urquell). Overall, not quite worth the price for me.

pours a cloudy yellow-orange with a 4 finger head, much carbonation. smell is very floral, sweet, and mandarin orange. taste is more like an IPA than a pilsner, sweet tart, citrus (lemon & orange), bitter-sweet, hops, yummmm. i was not expecting this taste at all, very smooth, nicely bitter, exceptional brew, way to go iron chef.

This had an awful taste to it. The bottle was amazing looking but the beer had a horrible taste.

Cool ceramic bottle. Cloudy yellow with a fizzy white head. Floral sweet malty aroma. Perfume hops taste in the back of the throat strong weet maltiness and a good bready taste to the finish. Alcohol well hidden.

White ceramic bottle (pricey). Pours a clear gold (slightly hazy) with white fluffy head. Pretty nice aroma of sweet malt, grain, grass, earthiness, and hops. Flavors of sweet grainy malt, bitter hops, floral, a bit of fruit, and finishes with alcohol. I like it, but in a way I don’t. Interesting brew.

Draft at Waldo Pizza in KCMO. Pour is golden with some haziness which cleared. The aroma was bright hop, earthiness and honey sweetness. The taste is big, sweet honey. I was surprised by how big this flavor was, and I found it a bit cloying. As my senses settled in, this beer was more or less enjoyable, though the sweetness did numb my palate. The finish has a bit of alcohol, though nothing overpowering.

I honestly did not like this, but give it extra points for Rogue being willing to take a risk. Draught at Rogue Pub. Yeasty aroma. Very frothy with white head. Taste of alcohol, with some maltiness. Alcohol and yeast finish. Somethings should not be imperial, IMHO pilsener is one of them.

Light yeast aroma with moderate hops. Cloudy gholden color. Fizzy with a medium white head. Starts off hoppy finishing with a fruity yeast taste.
