Mar 31, 2008 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Merritt Island Throwdown ’08: Bottle, courtesy Beerlando. Pours a hazy straw yellow, with a medium filmy head, with good sheets of lacing. Hoppy aroma, with vanilla and caramel in the malty background. Spicy on the tongue, with a distinct hop profile. Sweet, and some slight citrus. Not really lager-like. Medium-bodied, easy drinking. Surprisingly balanced.

Mar 29, 2008 Pours a honey gold with thick, heavy white head that quickly dissipates to white lacing. Aroma is of honey, caramelized hops with undertones of yeast. Flavor is hops and caramel. The hops are definitely sweetened , flavor is of an interesting caramelized hops. Quite delicious, rich beer that is a rich more flavorful pilsner. Very delicious. I am quite impressed.

Mar 29, 2008 Bomber bottle. Transparent amber color, big soapy foamy head. Not much carbonation. Medium bodied. Has a bit of bready chewiness. Mild malts quickly give way to a big dry citric rind hop flavor. Slight alcohol burn at the back of the throat to finish. Pretty solid beer.

Mar 28, 2008 Amazing depth for a pilsner. Lots of hops. Very impressive. I think this is the first time I have ever had one of these styles. I wish there were more.

Mar 26, 2008 The color was yellow/orange. The head was very thick, foamy, white, and laced the glass. The aroma was crisp hops, acidic, and citris. The flavor was hoppy, citris, and alcohol. The palate was lively. The finish was warm.

Mar 24, 2008 Big hopped imp pils? sounds good. Pours deep golden, bordering on light amber, with a soft white head that leaves sheets of lacing. Hoppy nose, citrusy with a light grapefruit character. Quick malts up front, but they give way to the hops rather quickly. Finishes dry and crisp.

Mar 23, 2008 A cold pour produces a fuming tall froth that lingers forever. A rocky plume, dense snail tracks, and a thick lasting lace is DB’s trademark. The color is a pale caramel yellow and slightly hazed. Aromas of brisk chunky citrus peel hops and a mild malty sweetness. Full nectar w/ soft as cotton carbonation. It’s almost crispy on the palate despite it fullness. A brisk hopsy citrus rind component right upfront delivers a balanced malt body w/ salted grapefruit and bittersweet caramel. The finish is bittered well leaving a lingering asprin tingling sensation to ponder. This brew is very generous cold or warmed. DB leaves a mouthwatering thirst for more on the user creating an addiction. This stuff is amazing. I pick up some candyfruit as it warms.
