Oct 24, 2008 Bottle. Aroma has notes of grapefruit, citrus, pear, and some musty sourness. Medium amber hue with an average sized foamy head that mostly diminished and left great lace. Flavor is sweet and malty then pine/citrus then a very bitter finish. Palate is full-medium bodied and lively. Alcohol is well masked. A good beer in every respect.

Oct 24, 2008 Medium to heavy body. Somewhat subtle, yet (obviously) hoppy aroma. Floral and caramel notes rounding out the
’’reckless quantities’’ of hops. An enjoyable, slow-drinking beer. A bold, brave, and delightful every-now-and-then treat.

Oct 23, 2008 The word ’’pilsner’’ strikes fear into my heart. All I can think of is a skunked bottle of Grolsh or Becks when I hear ’’pilsner’’. With that said, I loved this beer. There’s still a little bit of that bavarian hop skunky bitterness, but more of the hop bitterness is more citrusy. Smelly hoppy, tastes hoppy.

Oct 21, 2008 A nicely done , imperial pilsner. Well balanced and even with its strength still resembles a pilsner. Golden pour with an orange tinge and a fluffy white head. Crisp hoppiness, bready malt, grain, hints of lemon zest, and caramel sweetness. Full bodied, but ultimately feels light on the tongue.

Oct 21, 2008 I really dig the concept of taking the super hoppy aspects of great pale ales and applying them to a style like pilsner, stout, etc....
This provides the huge floral aromatics of a good IPA. The Beer looks very nice a good sparkling gold color with an aggressive head that leaves tons of lace.
This tastes... well it tastes like hops, plenty of grapefruit bitterness, without becoming too lemony citrus like. The beer is considerably cleaner and drier than most ales.

Oct 21, 2008 Pours a clear bright copper color with a big creamy head that lasts and laces nicely. Aroma of citrus and pine hops, with some sweet caramel malt in the background. Flavor starts sweet, thick and malty, but the hops quickly show up and balance it out nicely. Nice sweet grapefruit finish. Well carbonated and thick on the palate. More please!

Oct 20, 2008 Pours golden orange with a thick white head. Smells very hoppy, citrusy grapefruit, sweet malt. Hoppy, very diferent, kind of an off taste, toasted malts. Not a huge fan, but for sam adams its acceptable. Imperial Ipa, Imperial stout, imperial porter and now imperial pilsner we are living in the age of imperialism for beer, which isn’t a bad thing
