$11.99 from Green’s, Buford Highway, Atlanta, GA, USA. Silver foil covered neck in the corked & caged 750 mL bottle. Nasty, synthetic cork – I dislike these.
Partially poured into the 22oz Terrapin snifter – seems like the perfect glass for this beer. A slightly darker, golden pour with good head and some lace.
I can’t quite nail the nose, but it does seem a bit fruity.
A little more bitter, but at the same time also a little smoother than the other Imperial Pilsners I have had. The malt liquor, sweet, cloying elements seem to be quashed a little. Finish is actually quite lingering and metallic. Almost a little pepper in the finish too. A bit more IPA influence than I was expecting for the style.
An interesting diversion, but expensive for what it is and not the best Imperial Pilsner I have tasted. NOT Mikkeller’s best brew.
