Oct 3, 2008 A copper color with a thick white head. Aroma is of deep, spicy hops. Flavor is all hops. Spicy, wonderful hops. Mouthfeel is impressive, and finish is still hops. Basically, much better than any imperial lager I’ve ever had. Obviously special, and very good.

Oct 3, 2008 08 version: Boom! This is the first pilsner that I have ever enjoyed so immensely. I am in love with this beer, it has explosively fresh pungent hops, some light fruit malty sweetness, booming head that settles to an ever present lacing, traces of Hallertau are left behind, flavors are skewed to the hops, but a sweet balanced fruity malts rounds things out, the finish is very long, palate is velvety, there is a pinch of peppery alcohol right there with it all... I’m going to hoard a case for myself. Lovely Pilsner IPA, absolutely lovely, and affordable by today standards.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Bought a case of this stuff on a whim and loved it. Poured a golden color with a white frothy head. Aroma is hoppy and malty all at the same time. Taste is nice and hoopy with a malt finish vice nice.

Oct 1, 2008 This one was a surprise. I was talked into it by my retailer, as I have shied away from the bigger breweries. However, this one is very good. Nice amber color with a huge white head. Big, as promised hop bite, yet very smooth and drinkable. Not like a Pilsner, more like a watered down IPA.

Sep 30, 2008 New batch (2008) at the brewery. Pours a hazy deep golden with a fluffly long lasting head and nice solid lace. Aroma is almost resinous with how much hallertauer hops are in here- insanely floral and fresh with a good big pils malt backbone to stand up to the hops. I like how the malt is perfect- it serves a good frame fro the hops but doesnt get sweet, sharp or thick like other imperial pilsners- the hopss come through perfectly- tons of fresh floral and lightly herbal hops, lgith citrus notes, and an insanely good bitter finish that makes you want more. I think Ill buy quite a bit when this comes out.

Sep 30, 2008 Copper color, frothy head, nice lacing. Hoppy bitter aroma. Overly bitter and hoppy without having much character. Tastes like a poorly made IPA. Watery mouthfeel. Could be a lot better. I bought this as Samuel Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner.

Sep 26, 2008 From bottle. Pours a cloudy amber with small off-white head. Aromas of floral hops and citrus. Thinner than I hoped for. Decent finish.
