Type: Continually-Hopped Imperial Pilsner
ABV: 7.5%
Sight: It pours a crystal-clear bright golden-yellow that shows nice carbonation from the bottom to the top. A thick bubbly pure white head comes out of the bottle quick, and nearly overflows the glass. It then dissipates to a 1/4" thick film on the surface.
Aroma: Sweet light malt front that gives way to a nice hoppy overall tone to the nose. The deeper the inhale the more floral pops your gonna get...Fresh-cut grass, light citrus of lime, and maybe a little yeast. There is a smidge of caramal sweetness to end it.
Taste: As I described in the aroma, I get a matching creamy mouth of caramal sweetness with a very aggressive hop undertone. Lends more to a Hefe/Pale than a Pils to me. Citrus bitterness of lime from the hops is pleasant and not overpowering. Some grain notes mix in well between the other flavors.
Overall: Was very satisfied with this (C.H.I.P.)Continuously Hopped Imperial Pilsner. Got the hops and dryness I love, and also finally got a decent beer in the pilsner style, that was in dy'er need in the American Beer market. Mouthfeel is medium with a creaminess the helps hold the sour bitter aftertaste that lingers on the tongue.
Score: 8/10
