| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 23, 2007 On tap at the D Room. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a medium creamy lacing white head. Aroma of light citrus, floral, cereal grains and pretzels. Lots of hop flavor and bitterness, some grapefruit, bready and piney. Being a lager there is not a whole lot of fruitiness so the hop flavor and bitterest is up front. Ty5592 (1015), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 29, 2007 Tap. Yellow with nice white head. Aroma was pilsner like. Malty note throughout. The taste was pretty firm with some sweetness. citrus hop finish. Thicker. The sign stated that this was an imperial pilsner.....thats what it looked and tasted like, not a european strong ale. obxdude10 (1556), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 21, 2007 As far as "regular ol-" lagers go, this is one of the best, a dark golden color with a modest white head, left a nice lacing around the glass, nose of wheat, slight citrus & bread, flavors of grapefruit, caramel & toast, full-bodied, got that "full" feeling after finishing a pint of this, a very well-done lager

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 29, 2007 Clear golden body with a clean foamy white head. Citrusy pineapple aroma with sourdough and hay notes. Doughy pale malt background in the flaovr, plus abundant fresh hops. Has a vague lemony-cat box quality. Lightly sweet with some notable tartness and developing bitterness. A big, hoppy pilsner. This is a little rough around the edges, but grew on me.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 29, 2007 Poured a hazy dark golden color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of bread, toffee malts, citrus, cereal, and floral hops. Taste was sweet up front, cereal grains, wood, bubblegum, light skunk, toffee malts, vanilla, citrus, and a moderate bitterness in the finish. Light alcohol as well in the finish.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 25, 2007 Draft at DRE. Hazy medium golden pour with 1-finger whitish head. The aroma is very hoppy and citric, with a solid amount of floral spicy peppery hints. It smelled to me like a sort of hoppy saison at first, with a lot of peppery notes. The palate is medium, crisp, and complex, with flavors of pale malt, citric hops, and a lot of finishing black pepper and some floral notes, all while stylistically retaining the pilsner signature. I had a pint, then a growler, and I’ll be going back for another growler or two of this. And, indeed, the 7% alcohol is truly well hidden. This one is great.
