does not count  Jun 17, 2009 Traditionally a huge fan of pilsners, this beer reaches a new level of exceptional quality. Light copper color is capped with an ivory head. The nose is very floral but almost a bit acidic due to the abv. The hops explode on your palate as you savor the intense creamy hop indulgence. The finish is smooth with hints of oak. Very exceptional. Caution, you can really taste the alcohol in this offering.

Jun 12, 2009 One of a kind, the Boston Beer people has done one of the best beers of the USA, and even growing bigger and becoming a medium brewery, Sam Adam’s folks didn’t give up and stayed with the consumers.

May 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Very hoppy body with lots of grapefruit, citrus, and spicy hop pine accents. Moderate etoh warming but well masked in this hop haven. V.Nice.

May 14, 2009 I never would have thought that a pilsner could have so much taste to it. Heavy hop aroma and taste; it was close to being too much. Overall, it was an excellent full flavored beer that I would definitely buy again. LC

May 3, 2009 12 oz. bottle purchased from Sam’s Quik Shop (purchased October 2008; sampled May 3, 2009). Orange in color, similar to an IPA, with a thick and creamy off white head. Aroma of grass and canned tomatoes. While bitter in flavor like I had hoped there is a hint of the tomato flavor I was getting in the aroma. Still enough in the way of the hops to make this one good. Palate is nice and sticky like a good DIPA. My guess is that a different hop other than Hallertau would have been better although it probably would not have given Sam Adams what they were going for. A good beer but I long for the day’s of Dogfish Head Golden Era.

May 2, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy, dark clear orange with off white head. Some floaters in this poor. Hop aroma, hint of pine, malt and spice. Bitter on the finish. Sticky mouthfeel. Very enjoyable, enjoyable Sam Adams beer!

Apr 28, 2009 Thick, cloudy pour. Opaque orange in the glass, so viscid that bubles do not rise vertically, but instead ascend in lazy swoops and spirals. Rocky cream head. Minty and hot-grass-clippings hops grapple with caramelly, sherry-ish malt scents. A surprisingly Belgianish flavor features burnt sugar and marigolds, and a sweet-pruney taste fades slowly, revealing an alcohol rush and crisp resiney hops.Full, dense mouthfeel. Far more sappy-syrupy and less hoppy than I expected... a very nice Belgian IPA, but worlds away from pilsner.

Apr 28, 2009 Haze and orange color, nice looking white head. Nice hoppy aroma. A hop explosion of citrus, great bitterness. The finish is firm. Really plenty of hops in this one, I like it!
