The color was deep golden and very carbonated. The head was white, thin, and fizzy. The aroma was alcohol, strong ale, sweet with light sour notes. The flavor was alcool, sweet, strong, and grass. The palate was thick-bodied. The finish was clean.

1year old bottle. Pours a hazy reddish yellow color with a small soapy head. Aroma of hops, yeast and malts. Flavor is malts, hops, corn, and grass but very well put together. No way this is 9%. The alcohol in this has sure mellowed after a year.

750ml from Liquid Solutions (2006). This one is probably the best of the impy pilsners I’ve tried, even though it was a bit pricey. A very strong yeasty aroma coming from a big hazy light orange pour. Strong sweet malts and pepper in the nose. Upon tasting it’s less harsh than you might expect from that, with even a trace of honied sweetness. Booze is detectable, warming, but not overpowering. Good one.

pours a dehydrated piss color with a decent head that goes down with a quickness. notes of honey although its not sweet in aroma and nice noble hop grassy. like a pils on crack. flavor is likewise, enjoyble and not as strong as the abv would suggest. nice i like the fresh grass and hey, its lawnmower beer if you have a small lawn and have to get the job done quick. i wish they kept the old name

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pours out in a clear dark golden/orange colour with a small white head. Fresh noble grassy hops, minerals with fruity undertones of apricots. Medium to full-bodied with notes of apricots, tangerine, minerals and grassy elegant hops. Gives an extremely well-balanced impression. Long finish of grassy and mineraly hops with fruity undertones of yellow fruit. Much better than Samuel Adams version IMO.
