Aroma of candied grapefruit, ripe banana and tart cherry. Appearance was rich and gold with foamy head, nice lacing. Flavor of gum, bitter grapefruit, tart cherry and white grape. Palate was lively. An artistic brew.

Dec 27, 2009 Courtesy my Secret Santa- thanks man! Great imperial pilsener. Leave it to us in the U.S. to come up with this concept. Aroma was big. All pilsner malt with not much else. Pour was a beautiful dark gold with a huge pillowy white head. Taste was strong. Strong pilsner malt with a heavy dose of European hops to balance out the sweetness. Semi-dry finish with nice carbonation. Delicious.

Dec 20, 2009 Thanks Chibbyman. Yellow pour with a white head. Sweet malt aroma. The alcohol seemed to balance nicely with the malt. Some sweetness at the end. Nice lacing. Tasty.

Dec 14, 2009 Bottle @ Hj Hansen, Odense. Pours slightly unclear golden with a egg white head and lacings. Nose is very grassy with notes of pine and flowers. Very hoppy and very bitter grassy abd citrussy flavor. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium carbonation. Dry and power bitter long end. Heavy!

Dec 11, 2009 Beautiful appearance! Pours slight hazy golden color with thick & luscious white head. Gorgeous!
Nose has some herbal qualities, perhaps with some resemblance to skunky hops in a green glass German import.
Palate has a clean character with some dry herbal flavors. Finish is hoppy with some alcohol peeping through.

Dec 10, 2009 There really has to be a new category for all of these "Imperial Pilseners" that have been cropping up the past few years. About all they have in common with genuine European Strong Lagers is that they’re strong pale lagers and not Malt Liquors. Anywhat - I picked up a bomber of this beverage at the Binny’s in Orland park, Illinois. It poured a yellow body with lazy carbonation and a smallish head that left little lace. The aroma was a grainy malt sweetness covered by some muddy PNW hop scents. The flavor was cleaner so far as the hops were concerned, citrus zest with a dash of resinous pine. The finish was the best part, dry and bitter. Not bad.

Dec 7, 2009 Pours a gold honey with a very thin head and lots of rising bubbles. A faint IPA-like aroma, with some yeast, barnyard and citrus. Taste is much the same, citrus and earth with a bitter finish.

Dec 6, 2009 Nice aroma, grassy/piney hops over fresh baked bread and candied tropical fruits. Flavor starts out fruity but is pretty aggressively hoppy, at least for these hop varieties, with a pronounced bitter finish.

Dec 6, 2009 Pale yellow pour with out much visible crabonation, oddly. Nose is somewhat tart. Flavors of lightly roasted grain (almost thought I tasted some corn adjuncts) decent bittering hops (floral and earthy) and a tart finish. Did not really grab me at all.
