small white head over top a dark gold body. aroma was floral with some malt. I haven’t had a pilsner in a while so it was tough to compare, however, I am sure this one is up their in the top tier as far as pilsners go.

bottle. golden with a slight haze and big sticky head. not a fan from start to finish. very medicinal tasting and smelling. fairly dry in the finish. was actually surprised by how unimpressed I was with this. going to have to try it again sometime and see if my taste for it has changed.

12 ounce bottle from cdog69
Pours clear golden with a thick, sticky white head. Quite a bit of carbonation rising through the beer.
Clean pilsner malt aromas, with a slight noble hop aroma. Sort of a lemon dish soap aroma as well.
Tastes fine. Very malty, close to being sweet. The finish is plenty dry though. Plenty of bitterness. to keep the sweet in check.
The palate comes off a bit syrupy to me. Its not bad, I guess. Not really all that pleasing.
Not something that I’m going to be looking to drink again.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head that leaves decent lacing. The aroma is medium sweet malt and grassy floral hops. The flavor was the same medium sweet malt with a good balance of hops. There is also the presence of alcohol which refuses to remain hidden. Not overly bitter especially when tasted next to the Sam Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner. Not my style, but a pretty good example nonetheless.

aroma is of obvious alcohol with a balance of cereal malt and hops. pours dark gold with a good head that cleaves to the side of the glass. flavor is good... some alcohol, rich cereal maltiness, spicy and grassy hop flavor. medium palate. all in all pretty good, but on raw flavor it doesn’t stack up to other high gravity beers. m

bottle. golden to light-amber hue with little creamy white head. aromas of dried fruits, subtle dry hop, and undertones of and salted nuts. it smells fresh. creamy mouthfeel with a lingering bitter finish. smoothness, but mild grassy or pine bark undertones on the flavor. also - slight cream on the palate, and notable lacing on the glass, thick lacing.

Golden appearance with a decent white head. Flavor is somewhat sweet with noticeable alcohol. Finish is more bitter with a decent hop presence. Fairly enjoyable strong pilsner.

I was really anxious to try this just because of its name and it was very delightful. A bit of a strong alcohol flavor but i like the warmth
