Commercial Description:
Light golden colored and bursting with fresh hop aroma, this Imperial Pilsner is brewed with a blend of American and German ingredients. American 2-Row and German Pils malts lend a bready sweetness while massive amounts of American and German hops provide dominant citrus, spicy and grassy notes.

Draught at the pub. Golden with a thick foamy white head. Sweet PNW aromatic hops nose. the flavor showcases your typical pilsener hops along with a strong sweet body along with some citrusy flavors. Very good, medium bodied with a pleasant lingering aftertaste.

Poured on tap at Yorktown. Pours a golden slightly hazy straw in a pilsner glass. Prominent fluffy white head that slowly dissipated and laced beautifully during the whole experience. Aromas are floral hops and pilsner bready malts. Very floral initial taste with bready pilsner malts on a less prominent factor. The hops steal the show but are balanced marvelously with the pilsner malts. Flavorful, succulent, and top notch. Very pleasant aftertaste that lets you remember the sweet nectar you just enjoyed. Cheers!

6/11/08 Thanks to Andrew for this pour from a growler filled 5 days earlier. As andrew fills my mug in the park, everything about this beer screams fresh from the tap. Clear golden yellow with a white thick head. Hoppy delicious nose. Rich with caramels, citrus, grass, herbal and spicy hops. Smooth body and so fresh tasting. Rich caramel malts with earthy, floral, herbal, and spicy noble hops. Finishes with a slight bitterness. Really tasty brew. I could drink a lot of this.

This one poured golden in color and had a rather complex nose of citrus, spice, wheat and and herbal funk. The palate was powerful and concentrated showing off ther herbaceousness in the finish. A powerful summer beer!

Pour is deep golden with a thin sticky white head...smell is strongly hoppy with grass and is also lightly doughy...taste is doughy sweet at first with a growing spicy hop character of grassyness, pepper, and herbal flavors....finish is a lingerly bitter with some grapefruit....well done!
