Commercial Description:
Help us celebrate American Independence and American Beer Month in July with the release of the Terrapin All-American Imperial Pilsner. This beer was brewed using only American malts, American hops, and American yeast. Who says you have to import ingredients from Germany to make a true Pilsner? Of course, this Pilsner is made "Terrapin Style". Hence the 75 B.U.’s, the 8% alcohol and the term "IMPERIAL Pilsner". Malt: 2-Row Pale Malt, Carapils Malt. Hops: Warrior, Mt. Hood, Santiam, Liberty, American Saaz (Dry Hop). O.G. 18.5 F.G. 4.5 B.U.’S 75 A.B.V. 8%

A: Pours a nice murky orange color with a nice little head. S: Nice sweet citrus aroma. I can pick out grapefruit and orange zest in the nose. There is a cotton candy like sweetness in the background which pulls it all together. T: Where this beer shines is in the taste. Nice sweet caramel flavor with hints of cane sugar. There is some zip in the finish coming out mostly in the flavor of grapefruit. M: It finishes crisp and clean with a hint of bite from the hops.

Pours a lasting ring of beige head with a golden-amber body with particulates. Aromas of muted floral and citrus hops. Muted citrus and floral hops, butter toffee flavors. Finish is bitter and a little sticky.

2006 Bottle courtesy of Butters Last Supper Tasting. Pours a cloudy deep orange with plenty of floaters and white head. Aroma of sweet malts, honey, sugar candy. Similar taste, hoppy finish.

2006 vintage thanks to unclemattie. Pours a cloudy orange color with lots of particulates and a medium white head. The aroma is awesome; sweet barley wine type notes, caramel, fruit and light malts and sugars. The flavor is basically the same; rich caramel covered sweet fruits, light alcohol and sugars. I enjoyed this brew a lot.

On tap at the Terripin 7th Anniversary. Pours a viscous yellow with a white head. Aromas are strong grain, toffee, hops and lemon. Flavor is strong, with a nice, and well balanced, alcohol kick. Hops and grain are dominant in many different ways. There’s a lot going on in here. Pretty damn good Imperial Pilsner.

Bottle thanks to nearbeer. 2007 Bottle. Pours a thick syrupy looking copper orange with a beige head. Big caramel, toffee malt aroma, honey, the hops seemed to have disappeared leaving only a light grassy note. Taste is very bready caramel malt, light alcohol warmth, a lot like what I remember Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner being.
