Jun 7, 2008 Pour is a golden with a white head. Aroma is a nice biscuit with a hoppy backbone. Flavor is again lots of dry malts and a nice hoppy aftertaste. Very easy to drink and the alcohol is no problem. Think of pilsner urqueli but to the extreme!

Apr 15, 2008 Golden body with no visible carbonation and a smallish white head. Nice lacing. Hop aroma. It is full of hop but also honey and some balancing malt. The hops offer both pine and floral flavors. The high abv was not really noticed.

Apr 13, 2008 Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition, on tap. My taste buds were suffering when this one was poured. Still, my notes are clear: nice and clean taste. Hoppy, but like a Sam Adams. Mellow and slightly sweet,

Apr 12, 2008 (draught at Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition) darkish amber. Malt aroma. Flavor has a lot of hops wiht malt background. Not as crisp as a traditional pilsner.

Aug 12, 2007 On tap at GTMW 2007
New Albanian was high on my list of brewpubs to check out. Despite missing out on the port cask aged Bonfire of the Valkyries I was still able to get a sample of this. I’m actually glad in retrospect as I don’t think I would have given a barrel aged smoked beer the respect it deserves in this setting. I did miss a shot at the Fitgers Champagne of the North for this as well; that was more upsetting. Oh well - there’s always next year.
Aroma / Appearance - Lemongrass and wheat form the core of a dense aroma. It was hard to pick out more in such a crowded setting. The caramelized brown body was a sight to behold even before it settled down into a nice one finger whipped head. Sticky lacing danced down the side of the glass. As with Czar Jack, this would be far more enjoyable in a non-kolsch glass.
Flavor / Palate - The hoppy but smooth mouthfeel was easily sippable but complex at the same time. Caramel and honey were the first things I picked up followed by peaches, lemon and citurs. A bitter aftertaste yielded to the dry woody finish. If all imperial pilseners were this good I would be happy to try them all.
