Release #2 in the Justice Series. 22 oz bottle. Golden pour. Head is initially good but fades badly. Light syrup mouthfeel as one would expect. Noble-like hop bitterness, but the alcohol and the malt base comes through quite strongly. Some syrupy...
750 mL bottle, capped. From Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL, USA. Typical pour into the DFH signature glass. Great looking golden pour with a large head head which is fluffy, dense and produces a lot of sticky lace. Lovely, whipped topping effect...
22 oz bottle. Well, this certainly lives up to the name, a strange beer to say the least. I don't quite know how to describe this, but it drinks like a dry, hoppy Märzen. It's odd because the last thing that you would associate with a lager of that...
22oz bottle in the usual Dank Tank presentation. I've had this a few times before now, this is the bottled review. Poured into the DFH glass, the beer is truly a deep golden color with (considering the ABV) a decent head and some retention. The...
22 oz bottle, many thanks go out to Scott & Rich at Charleston Beer Exchange, Charleston, SC, USA for hooking me up and giving me the chance to try this one. Pour is a surprisingly dark, bronze color. Must be using some darker malts. Head is...
12 oz bottle as a single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Can't remember the exact price but I remember it as being very expensive for what I was getting. The beer starts off with a great looking black pour that appears totally opaque with little...
$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...
New review - 2008 version (best before Jan 2009) 12 oz bottle as a single from Total Wine. Great looking orange pour withe super head and retention again. Seems a little sweeter and less "upfront hoppy" than some of the earlier vintages but that...
2007 release on tap, Taco Mac, Marietta, GA, USA. Good grief! What happened to this beer? This release is a MESS. Huge alcohol and syrup, the beer is close to undrinkable for me. There seems to have been ramping up of the package that resulted in...
12 oz single, Best Before Feb 2007. I'm an increasing fan of these "Imperial" (or whatever you want to call them) Big Pilsners. I like the way the higher alcohol seems to sit in the syrupy, thick body and they really create a large drinking...
Updated Notes (Golden Era) Sept. 2007 If there was any doubt about this not being the same beer as Shower, just take a look at that distinctive Golden Color! Really deep. Now in four packs of 12 oz bottles. Got mine for $7.49 at Mac's, I suspect...
OK, this review will be a little biased since I bought this for $3.99 rather than (up to) $16.99 that I have seen in Atlanta. At this price, this beer is a straight 5. At $12, $13, $14 or $15 a bottle it isn't. Great, butterscotch and lemon...
Review: 09/06 - thanks to SilentSabre for a chance to re-visit. Well past what Jim Koch recommends, but I wanted to experiment wih some age on this. Looks identical to ten months ago with great sticky lacing, and orange clouded body. From memory it...
Double Pilsner?? What's that? All I know is this a very hoppy beer to be considered still in the Pilsner category. Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter. Golden pour with a slightly disappointing lack of head, but some lacing. Very little...
