Nov 27, 2007 12oz, 2007 bottle, this beer is the one of the hoppiest in the world???? uh okay, well nice try BBC, This tastes like a bittter, mixed with some IPA, but not much, a deeper more darker bitterness, combined with a lighter look and mouth... not bad for BBC, again much props to them for trying something different and cranking out an 8.8% ABV commercial brew.

Nov 27, 2007 12oz Hallerau Imperial Pilsner bottle. Looks, smells and tastes like a bitter, so I’m not quite sure how this is an Imperial Pilsner (although I like the idea). Pours a translucent orange with a creamy, whispy slightly off white head that leaves layers of sediment as you empty the glass. Smells hoppy, heavy on the orange, with a hint of european yeast. Flavor is malty and bitter, more orange, lemons, slightly metallic. Finish is smooth, bitter in the throat (what did you expect?) and slightly oily. No hints of increased alcohol. Overall, drinkable and a nice departure from other Sam offerings. Imperial Pilsner, I don’t know, but it’s worth a try and I like the effort.

Nov 27, 2007 Bottle. Chalky hop aroma. Cloudy orange/amber with a thin patchy head. Terrible flavor, rotten fruit/skunky hops. Intense unbalanced bitterness on a dry palate. Bad bottle?

Nov 26, 2007 12 oz bottle poured into a lager glass. Pours orange with a large white frothy head. The head shrinks back a little but for the most part sticks around. There is not much lacing. Looking through the glass there is quite a bit of bubbles floating to the top. The beer is also hazy. The aroma is piney along with a little citrusy. Taking a drink it is very bitter, the hop flavor is piney, grassy and slightly fruity, grapefruit. The bitterness sits on the back of the tounge for a long time. The body is light to medium with a creamy testure and fizzy carbonation. Overall I liked this alot, I never had a Imperial Pilsner before, but am going to try more. Very hoppy and bitter.
