C&C 750. Clear gold with a massive off white head that descends rockily. The label says Malt Liquor, which evokes images of paper bags and park benches. This is far from that! The nose is sweet grain drenched in citrus and grass. The flavor is bitter hop madness, citrusy and grassy with a light caramel tinge. IPA lovers should dig this, for sure. Very drinkable. Medium bodied and slightly slick, a touch of hotness in the finish Interesting stuff!

750ml Bottle @ The rover. Nice cloudy golden-yellow color with a nice big head. Really nice balance with lots of fresh hops and fruity notes.

Pours a fuzzy gold with a large white head. Nice light hoppy aroma. This is a pretty drinkable beer. Nice balance of hops and malts, I would try this beer again.

This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a very large sized head of foamy finely sized long lasting bubbles that left behind a slightly hazy softly carbonated orange colored body, The aroma was malty hoppy and contained a buttery note. The mouth feel was tingly from start to finish. The flavor was mildly vinous with a malty note and a slightly acidic aftertaste.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden/orange color with a frothy white head. Aroma of floral and earthy hops, sweet pale malts, citrus and a hint of pine. Flavor is hoppy with citrus, grass, grapefruit and some malty sweetness

Yellow color with a full, long lasting foam. Well hopped nose, with citrus, spice-like, lemony and fruity hops. Very vibrant. Flavor is very punchy with loads of fruity (orange, tangerine, lemon) and spicy hops. Also, some notes of butter toffee and caramel as well. This is a very nice beer from Mikkeller, one of the better Imperial Pilsners I’ve had.

This beer poured deep golden/orange in color with a large fluffy white head that dissipated away. The nose was like Springtime with scents of citrus and lavender honey. In the mouth it is medium-bodied with a concentrated midpalate that leads to a dry/bitter finish. This is well-balanced but overall rather simple.
