| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 19, 2009 75cl bottle. Hazy orange to golden and slightly hazy beer. White head is huge, rocky and white in colour. Enormous amount of fruity and floral hops on the nose is something to experience: peach, lemon, sweet orange, honey and fresh pine needles. Toffy and caramelly maltiness give balancing sweetness. Clean and crisp pilsner-malty finsh. The alcohol is totally absent. Some pea soup-like off flavor appears when it gets too warm. The taste is dry and very bitter, but the amount of malts used cuts the sharpest edge. Palate is medium bodied and surprisingly smooth. Long and bitter finish. Top-class drinkability. Delicious, dangerous... trapez (840), Hilleroed, Denmark
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 29, 2009 Bottle. Aroma with plenty of hops and malt. Notes of grass and flowers. Unclear amber colour with beige head. Very nice bitter hoppy flavour, very much lika an IPA. Well balanced with malt. The bitterness does not continue but a sweet malt flavour is left in the aftertaste. buzzoven (333), Japan

My first Imperial Pilsner. Pours a nice rose-lemon colour with very little nose, but a nice cloudy head that lasted the full pint. Retains a stable malty taste with hints of bitterness and a gentle feel on the pallete. Low in carbonation...always a good thing and finishes with a crisp, peppery sensation with some more of that zesty bitterness lngering. Would certainly drink again. aplusbreaks (330), , Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 22, 2008 750ml Pours a golden, almost amber, with a big peaky frothy head that lasts... some great lacing to boot. Aromas of fresh hops and some fruit and malts. Flavor is quite appealing for a euro lager, which usually is not my cup a tea. Some pine and resin and a smooth hop finish, very well balanced. A+ for a lager. Nordcore (290), North of, Norway
