Best Pilsner Ever!!!!
Hops Forever!!!
Nice and spicy.
Everything I would normally like out of a DIPA punkrkr27 (606), Berkley, Michigan, USA Apr 30, 2008 Hazy yellow-orange pour with a white head and good lacing. Very dry, spicy, and piny with a hearty honey sweet malt backbone. Sticky, medium body. Borderline DIPA but a bit over the top for the style. Lothore (276), California, USA Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a light golden / yellow color with an absolutely massive head from a relatively tame pour. Looks vigorously carbonated from the bubbles present. Slighty cloudy.
S- I could smell the hops the second I popped the cap. Once it was pouredthe nose was very hoppy and citrusey with a sweet malt backing.
T- Big strong malt presence with a hop bitterness at the end. Very citrusey and piney. Intense but not as overbearing as some reviewers would make it out to be, it is quite a bit more balanced than some of the hop dominate DIPAs out there. That being said, The thick sticky maltiness doesn’t do it for me.
M- A bit thick for my tastes and a really resiny layer sticks around for a while inside the mouth.
D- I’d say this is much more drinkable than I expected. I don’t mark it down on drinkability for the hoppiness because I think it is absolutely perfect how it is but the thickness and malt profile make it less than the most drinkable beer in history. Theis (3617), Denmark Apr 25, 2008 Bottle at Bishops Arms, Malmø - as Hallertau Imperial Pilsner. Cloudy yellow - white head. High hoppy, cirtus, grassy, grape, cactus, resin, light malty ,light white sugar, sweetness. OK. WeeHeavySD (2940), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Apr 24, 2008 Bottle from Southbay from bikesandbeer, tis been in my fridge for months. Pours cloudy yellow with a 2 finger tan head. Nose is sweet hoppy and light. Taste is hoppy, crisp and overall flavorful. Its nice to have a Sam Adams beer I somewhat like. brianprentiss (473), Portland, Oregon, USA Apr 23, 2008 the best pilsener I’ve had. what a great, clean, crisp beer, with a good bit of hops. liked this one.
