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%

GABF 2006. Pours to a glowing golden body with a thin white head. The aroma is sourdough bread, interesting hop profile. Doesn’t seem to have any flaws. The flavor is biscuity, nicely hoppy with grassy components showing the most. Moderate palate, sits well, nice balance.

A good beer. Not as good as some of the other Terrapin offerings, but not bad. Pours a yellow-gold. Nose of hops and malt. Malt up front on the tongue the the hops burst in. No alcohol taste. The brewers at Terrapin are masters at masking the alcohol content in their beers!!

Pours a orange-yellow/straw color with an off white head. Heavy malt aroma, some burnt spice and a bit of fruit. Flavor is sweet, caramel malt back with some nice dry bitterness and some light pineapple. Nice sturdy body...good amount of carbonation...finishes kinda flat and bitter. Overall, a spicy/bitter/sweet offering with a few quirks. A pretty good brew, but my least favorite offering from Terrapin.

12oz - Thanks TheBeerCellar2 - Aroma is interesting. Strong malts with sweet honey and spice leading into a push of earthy hops. Pours hazy golden with small head and decent lacing. Flavor is rich and smooth sweet malts with a touch of fresh hops. Palate is clean. Tasty brew, I wonder if it shines on tap?

From bottle thanks to Immy. Pours a light orange with thin white head. Nose is syrupy citrus and sugary at the same time. Flavor has a large malt component with light citrus. Palate is thick and lightly carbonated. Good.

A hazy light orange pour. An aroma of slight corn at first and some spicy hints almost like nutmeg. No paper flavor at all but a rich malty flavor with a bit of a hops bitter finish. A good warm feeling with this beer. A good one.

I was pleasantly surprised with this. Malty, semi sweet with hints of pear and apple, some spice and vanilla. Crist and smooth, very good.
