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!

Not sure if it is the fancy ceramic bottle or the Morimoto name that justifies the $12 price tag on this here brew, but either way it’s overpriced. Dark and lightly clouded straw color with a thick off-white head and stringy lacing. Tangy hops and banana aroma. Light-bodied and faintly metallic with floral hops, spice and a bit of fruit in the flavor. The finish is dry and hoppy with a bitter aftertaste. Above average but no way will I pay the hefty price tag to try this again.

On tap at Rogue Public House in Portland. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma is grainy with some floral hops. Flavor is grainy and grassy with plenty of sweet malt, hop bitterness and a kick of alcohol. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

So its a lager not a pils? This was a great beer to end a lousy day. A light hop aroma, it looks really nice - a light yellow on the edges, dark in the middle. I definitely poured into the wrong typle of glass so there was almost no head but I don’t care. Lightly hoppy, with a fair amount of grit, it has a dry but not cottonmouth feeling throughout. Combined with the Uber-pils they make the two best pils I’ve had (far better than those Czechs).

Bottle: Overall not bad very floral with a little to much bitterness going on with this one, not a bad session beer. Good once in a while couldn’t drink this one all the time. Worth a try.

I got this on tap at the brewpub in San Francisco. It wasn’t labeled as the Morimoto (it was labed with a folded sheet of paper, so who knows), but only as an Imperial Pilsner, so I assume this is it. And yee haw, indeed! A fantastic pilsner aroma squared, a nice straw golden color, and very well hidden alcohol. Mouthfeel is good, a little more viscous than a regualr pilsner. Quality.

Pours a hazy golden brown in color with a thin head. Floral aroma with a sweet maltyness to it. Sweet and hoppy with a bitter and sweet finish that has an acidic tang to it. A mouthful of a pilsner.
