Jul 29, 2008 Pours a thin golden with a huge airy sudsy off-white foam on top. Interesting aroma, malty, light caramel, with touches of fruit, mango/peach, and what seems like some german hops. Wonderful and unique, maintains the pilsner quality without letting the alcohol destroy it. Light candied malt, very nice too, merged with very flavorful grassy and floral hops, perfect amount of light sweet spring-time fruit, mango, grapefruit and peaches. A fantastic lasting mellow bitterness. Medium body, a bit creamy with very low carbonation. This stuff is pretty juicy with no signs of alcohol. I am a fan of this one.

May 10, 2008 I love my Malt Liquors, even if they are European. 750ml bottle, foiled, caged and corked. Very nice Imperial Pilsner. Peppery hop nose. Flavor is a chewy malt, which is always an added bonus. Follows with a crisp hop bitterness. Amazing bear, super tasty. Very nice as all Mikkellers are.

Dec 16, 2008 Bottle from BEERmerchants.com. Amber with a thick and lasting off white foam which coats the glass. Nose is sweet biscuity malt, caramel, honey and lots of resinous grapefruit and floral hop notes. Flavor is much the same, good piney grapefruit and sweet malty caramel. Creamy palate with a nice bitter, hoppy finish, slight note of yeast and maybe a little pepper to boot. Wonderful...

Sep 9, 2008 Bottle, with renffisch, 2nd September 2008. Amber with a very long lasting head which leaves lacing. Floral, perfumed aroma. Malty, nutty, mature cheese notes but with a good balancing bitterness. A very enjoyable beer. Certainly the best I’ve had in this style, by a country mile!

Aug 26, 2008 Poured from 750 ml a golden hay or straw color, a bit haz. Aroma of hops, field grasses, and malts. Formed huge foamy head. Lacing was incredible with each swig. Flavour smooth with malts and hops, perfectly balanced. Spices, along with pines come through making this a wonderful college of flavour that says "this what a beer should be like". Bottom line, Mikkeller does it again, a beer to be experienced. Behold it, as it sits it your goblet, for it is truly beer!

Jun 5, 2009 Slightly cloudy, orange-yellow beer with big and lasting cream-yellow head. Aroma is stunning, tropical sweet fruits, at the least grapefruit and mango and some bitterness. Flavour is also great, fruits, some pine needles and sweetness that turns into dryness and quite bitter. Easy, and nice to drink but still slippery. Absolutely great beer (if every lager would be like this...), that reminds me to Anchor Liberty Ale for every aspect, so this beer can’t be far away from the truth.

Jan 21, 2009 Rating 600! 750ml plastic-corked bottle. Thick, murky orange color with a big, foamy head. The aroma is sweet, with some Belgian yeast tang. The taste is sweet and malty, with a smooth thickness to it. Decent hop presence for a Belgian, very earthy. Really captures a lot of styles at once. Fruity Belgian yeast nuances, solid hop character, an almost bock-like smoothness in mouthfeel. Excellent beer, would love to have it fresh.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours an orange/amber colour with large frothing head. Flavor is very flowery and fruity, but also with hops. The mouthfeel is amazingly soft and smooth. Flavor is long lasting hoppyness, only slightly bitter. Very sweet. Really good! Never imagined a "pilsner" could taste like this.
