This is a fantastic beer. Huge malt sweetness balanced by pepeery hops. Bright golden color with a big white head. Wonderful. Put it in a bottle.

Golden shower bottle, this has an excellent balanced aroma of malts and hops. Very hoppy and a lot of sweetness throughout. A solid imperial pils that I would love to have again.

On Tap at the Blind Tiger Ale House, NYC: This beer was the highlight of my beer drinking experience in NYC. The beer pours a nice, deep golden color with a medium sized, white head. It has a full body and firm, crisp carbonation. The flavors are strongly malty with some good fruitiness and a strong hop presence, and it still retains a flavor that is like a pilsener beer, just one that happens to be on steroids. The finish is nicley hoppy with some maltiness and fruitiness. This is a fantastic beer, and it has now toppled Prima Pils as my favorite pilsener.

Oooopha! This drinks more like a big IPA such as TF Dreadnaught. Light golden color with a nice hoppy, spicy nose. Full-bodied velvety smooth mouthfeel. Medium bitterness - alcohol is somewhat apparent. Another winner from Sam and crew.

Awesome beer, had double or even triple the amount of malt & body than 'normal' pilseners, golden in color, nice white bubbly head, sweet on the nose, lots of maltiness all over the place, in the aroma, in the body, in the flavors, the aftertaste, lots of malt everywhere, but this was well-balanced at the same time, good hoppy profile, didn't have that over-bearing Saaz hoppiness that's found in quite a few pils, just an awesome pilsener

Drank this one with Sam himself at our 06’ sales meeting at the Milton brewery. Delicious creation of an Imperial Pils. Poured a dark yellow with a thin foamy white head. Smelled of hops and bitter lemon. The flavor was out of this world. Crisp, hoppy with a swift kick to the palate at the end. Creative and perfectly balanced. Delicious!!

This beer is thick, hoppy, alcoholic, and almost perfect. I can’t wait to get this one again.

Incredible aroma, must have spent 5 min. just smelling the glass. Taste lived up to the aroma. Excellent overall beer, would buy it over and over again. If I could find it in So. Cal
