Jul 27, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 6/28/09. At brewery, tap was part of XS series, not sure if the recipe changed, or if the XS imperial Pilsner is different altogether.
Pours beautiful gold with a solid head that lasts. Nice floral aroma, with a touch of sweetness. Super smooth and very drinkable, and no doubt the best pilsner I’ve had to date.

Jul 17, 2009 Draught at Rogue in SF during RBSG. Clear straw (pretty light for an imperial, but more like a regular pils) with a white head. Spicy and grassy hop aroma with some sweet bready malt. Lots of thick, doughy malt and spicy saaz in the flavor. Not really that sweet or bitter, just more malty than a normal pils. Thick body with medium carbonation. An odd one. Literally a pils but stronger, which actually makes it less interesting than the more out-there interpretations of the style.

Jul 13, 2009 The beer pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head. The nose is dry and sweetly hoppy. The flavor is an amazing full hoppyness with a hint of grassiness and malts. The finish is clean and dry.

Jun 22, 2009 On tap at the Peekskill Brewery. Pours a light hazy gold with a thin white head. Light pineapple, citrus, pine, and caramel. Medium bodied, very clean and hides the abv very well. Finishes up with a nice pineapple and grapefruit note. Very nice and almost blurring the lines between styles with some nice DIPA notes. Tasty.

Jun 17, 2009 It’s been a long time since I’ve found this ceramic cased beauty. I believe I was visiting relatives in Florida near Jacksonville and purchased these Rogues.
It poured smooth, foggy, and gold. Fruity aromas filled the air around the glass and complimented the malty taste very well.
Finished nicely, hides the 8.8 ABV nicely.
Always a fan of Rogue.
