From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #68 (Spetember 2012):
LOOK: Massive head, bright and bold golden hue
SMELL: Grainy, grassy hop, nutty, clean, floral, hint of alcohol
TASTE: Light to medium body, solid crispness, quite hoppy, bitter, husky grain, grassy, slightly chalky, very herbal, leafy, quince, green peppercorn, mild warmth, vegtal, undoubtedly dry, long hoppy finish
Yet another brewer jumping into the big beer, big bottle format. With the “Imperial” tag we expected a bit more alcohol, at 6.5% it does not really come close to that realm but a nudge of 1% would have helped here. Aside from that this lager does not lack character at all, pretty much a mouthful of hops the whole time.

A - Poured out a hazy, golden yellow color with a three-finger, khaki colored head of bubbly foam. It left thin rings of lace on the glass.
S - It smelled very floral with some bready notes.
T - Floral hop presence with caramel, toffee and bready notes.
M - It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A medium bodied lager.
O - This is a nice lager. It was a steal for $3.99.

A- Clear light golden body with an impressive dense white head. Lots of bubbles.
A- Light malt, somewhat bready aroma with an ever present herbal bitterness.
T- Pleasant sweet malt flavor with a light bitterness throughout. The aftertaste has a somewhat unpleasant astringent bitterness to it.
M- Medium body and high carbonation.
D- It's alright. Not too heavy, but the bottle it comes in is quite large and after one I can't imagine having another. The astringent aftertaste was somewhat unpleasant, but other than that it is an enjoyable brew.

A - Foamy off-white head sits about 2 fingers high. Excellent retention and ok lace. Nice orange gold body. Slightly cloudy.
S - Bready pilsner malt nose, plantains, lightly spicy hops.
T - Sweet bready malt; white bread and biscuits. Round, herbal hop bitterness with a bight black pepper and lemon finish.
M - Medium-light frame. Maybe medium to style.
O - A solid American take on a pilsner with bigger malt and hop notes than you'd traditionally expect in the style.
