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.

Pours a dark golden with a thin, mostly receding white head. Sweet aroma of spicy hops, alcohol, and a suprising amount of estery fruitiness. Taste is sweet and hoppy. This beer IS hedonistic. For once the marketing department got something right. Finishes slightly sweet, moderately acidic, highly bitter. Medium-bodied with light carbonation. If you don’t enjoy strong hoppy beers, better pass on this one.

This is one extreme pilsner, not at all what I was expecting. Had loads of malt, and good bitterness to go along with it. I enjoyed it, but wouldn’t go back to it.

Gentle fruit aroma. Cloudy orange. Lasting thin head. Sweet beer with long soft hop finish. Some spiciness, cookies and bread. Imperial Pilsener or Hoppy Maibock?

I was pleasantly surprised by this beer. Picked it up mainly out of curiosity after having had Love and Hoppiness, and for the sweet bottle, but I’m glad I did. Golden, hazy pour. Aroma is spicy hops. I can’t put my finger on the strain, but there’s something German and something American in there. Malt is coming through, too. Flavor is crisply hoppy and pleasantly bitter, not overpowering. The malt is just a solid pilsner malt. Far less alcohol than I expected and a wonderfully clean finish. Overpriced, but good; I’d drink it more often in a cheaper bottle.

Had on tap and in bottle and both are good. Decent white head with a golden color. Small aroma of hops and fruit. Not overly bitter but a decent bite. Very good and drinkable beer for the alcohol percentage.
