Midnight Sun Envy Imperial Pilsner

Bottle acquired via trade with goldtwins...THANKS AGAIN LARRY!!! Murky lemonade pour with a tangerine center sprouts a small eggshell head and minimal lacing. Tropical iced tea with a drop or two of honey both in the aroma and flavor. Herbal, sweet, and dull. This one either didn’t hold up well or was never that good to begin with. Medium palate.

Bottle shared by BOLTZ7555 – you da man Jason! Pours cloudy orange with a beige head that leaves decent lacing. The nose is fruit flavored iced tea, honey and faint citrus. The taste is pink grapefruit, caramel malt, light iced tea and tart grapefruit rind in the finish. Medium body. Good stuff, not what I was expecting, but decent.

Orange golden pour with a thin head and big bubbles. The aroma is super sweet grass and bread. The flavor is a strongly sweet and bready pis with huge grass and pepper hops in the finish. Lingering hop resins on the palate. It seems odd, dirty, or funky, but not in a good way to me. Creamy body for a pils, this does not work all that well to me, but the hop presence keeps it decent.

Bottle,Nice large white head that faded kinda quickly leaving a slight lace behind.Nice hazy golden color.The aroma was mildly fruity some hints of citrus and malt.The flavor was better then i expected it to be with a decent malty side some nice citrusy notes,hops coming through fairly well with a mild alcohol bite in the end,very mild though.Over all a pretty tasty brew fairly balanced IMO and easy to drink.Well worth trying again.

This one pours a bright hazy yellow orange with a big fluffy white head that remains a cap throughout with tons of lacing. Smell is hoppy with light citrus hops playing the major role, a slightly astringent lemon aroma. There are also some light grains in the nose as well. Taste has the same hop astringency but is wonderfully balanced for the style with a strong grain presence and a range of hop flavors, from grass to citrus. There’s definitely a crisp hop kick in the finish though. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with strong carbonation and very crisp. I really enjoyed this one and it may be the best imperial pilsner I have tasted. Great beer for the style.

Draft. Hazy dark gold with a fleeting white head. Spicy citrusy aroma with yeasty sour dough grains. Medium body. Good, heavy flavors are sweet pale malts with spicy euro hops. Has a mildly bitter alcohol taste to finish. This was really tasty on tap.

Thanks to bitbucket tasting group. Grassy/spicy/assy aroma is matched by the same in the taste. Interesting, but not good. This is a beer that if it was made by a brewery with a lesser reputation would have an average about 1 full point lower. It just didn’t come together.

22. Thanks, Derkruk! Pours a cloudy dark gold. Gym socks, grass and caramel aroma. Peppery finish with a metallic aftertaste. Good idea on paper, but I’m not so sure about the execution.
