Midnight Sun Envy Imperial Pilsner

Brewed by Midnight Sun Brewing Company
Style: European Strong Lager
Anchorage, Alaska USA

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.

Pours a lightly hazy golden orange with a medium bubbyl off white lightly lacing head. Aroma of mixed citrus, berries, floral, doughy,great nose. Flavor of a nice hop bitterness, piney, some grapefruit, bread, lots of resiny hop flavor.

22oz via trade from a gentleman from the other site. Big orange pour with a very lively, crisp carbonation. Interesting fruity notes in the aroma, distinctively mango at times, citrus elsewhere. There’s certainly a pretty good malt flavor here, and the body is nice, but the taste is dominated by pepper and floral creaminess, a full tasting brew with a long dry finish. One of the better, if not the best imperial pilsners out there.

Draft: was labeled 9%abv instead of the 7 listed here. Poured crystal clear yellow gold color. Medium white head. The aroma is a little sugary alcohol and hops. The flavor is really hoppy. The hoppiest pilsener ive had. Tons of spicy hops and a slightly sweet malt crispy finish. Not everyones taste but i dont usually even like pilseners.

I thought this was great, always been a big fan of this style. Even if it was a little overhopped, this was still a great thirst quencher, I mean it really hits the spot, and is not overpowered in other areas, and you can really sit down and enjoy it. The nose has a wonderful fresh citrus quality, like cutting into a lemon, but the body is quite aggressive to, and in the end it all comes together.

From a 22oz Bottle. Crystal clear pour of pale gold with a moderate layer of fizzy white head. All hops and no malt. Aromas of blue spruce and white grapefruit pith create an herbaly fresh, dank bouquet. Light bodied, crisply carbonated mouthfeel with an adequately dry finish. Lots of clean hop flavors assault the palate with a lemony citrus bite. Just enough malt sugars to prevent this from tasting like hop tea, but not enough to muddle the Amarillo flavors. Simple and straightforward, but good.

22oz bottle. Hazy gold color, off-white head. Aroma of fresh picked cherries. Flavor is sharp aged cheddar, maybe some beef broth. Saaz crotch. Pleasant bready finish with some oily hop bitterness.

Very nice pour, a deep gold with wonderful lacing and a lasting head. Aroma is earthy, mushrooms and cheese, british hops. Balanced and rich flavor, perfectly displaying its old world hops and gentle malt. Really this is much more like an english strong than a euro strong, although *some* pils notes are still there, such as some grassiness in the flavor. Hugely drinkable. Nicely done.
