Hams Brewhouse Wenceslas Imperial Pilsner

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 11/10/2008 Hop aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy fruity and strong in alcohol with a crisp and bitter finish.

Had this around new years of 2008 at the brewhouse in a tulip glass. The waiter seemed like he had to quiz me to make sure I could handle this beer. The beer it self was a fairly good offering. It was quite light for a strong alcohol beer. Taste was sweet. Not bad.

Sampled at Brewgrass 2008. Golden pour with plenty of head. Lightly sweet grain aroma that smells like I’m mashing or just finish the boil on my homebrew. You would never guess this was a pils of any kind. Lightly sweet with grain and grass that, to me, was dangerously drinkable. Full bodied and smooth.

(Brewgrass08) Fluffy white head atop crystal clear pale straw body. Aroma is moderately sweet, grassy, light straw, honey. Taste is moderately sweet, straw/grassy, some melon, light alcohol. Medium-full body, some stickiness.

on tap at Brewgrass, named Wenceslas Imperial Pilsner. Pours hazy yellow with a giant white head. The nose is papery and woody with mild skunky and strong vanilla. I get clean vanilla/grain/bread sweetness on the palate with a slightly dry finish. Not a whole lot of hop definition on this one. It’s clean and decent. Pretty sessionable other than its hidden alcoholic strength.

Brewmaster TL shared this beer with me prior to its release. Pours a cloudy golden color with a frothy white head. Has hints of sweet hops, citrus, spice. Has a good malt body, and finishes sweet.
