A yellow-orange color with a small white bubbly head. Very hoppy and but not so much so that it dominates the aroma or flavour; also malty. Sweet and a little bit spicy. Smooth, full and almost creamy.

"Poured a hazy golden color with nice head and good lacing. Aroma was hops in the front followed by malts and some fruit. Flavor was good much the same very well balanced in with hops and malts, not as grassy as i expected. "

750 ml bottle. Pours gold with a beautiful, puffy head. A really good looking beer. Aroma is a nice mix of spicy hops and grainy malts, really fresh. Taste is sweet and tripel-like. Texture is gummy with some palate cleansing carbonation. You get the big alcohol bite, which makes me think I could have sat on it for a few more months. I wouldnt mind seeing this in a 12 oz bottle, as this 750 is gonna try to kick my ass.

Well, this beer was really good. But then I threw it up all over. This beer has a nice body and a nice hoppiness to it, but I don’t recommend mixing it with whiskey.

seemed rather mild initally. Had a golden hue too it with almost no head. Some carbonation. Aroma with sweet with honey notes and floral hops, alcohol was present. Taste was sweet but not over powering. Some hops but a nice warming finsh.

Poured a clear golden color with steady carbonation bubbling action. Nice initial head and decent lacing. The aroma was sweet with light honey and very light grass relative to the style. The flavor was sweet pils malts with very light metallic and sulfur notes. Bittering hops used (Saaz and some other noble: Hallertau?) to balance out the sweet and rich maltiness. After warming, some sort of a yeast originating spice seemed to be lurking in the background - couldn’t quite place it. Mouthfeel was hearty and slightly syrup-like, but not cloying or overdone, farily decent balance. Not the top of the Impy Pilsners, but a good example of the style.

Pours deep amber into a lager glass. Consistant white micro head. Honey aromas. Sweet honey with minor hop finish. Got more hoppy as it warmed, but not sure how it’s a pilsner,
