look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 2
Poured from a brown 11.2 oz. bottle. Has a golden color with a small head. Smell is of mild malts and alcohol. Taste is like the smell, alcohol with some malts. Feels light in the mouth and one of these was enough for me. Overall this offering is mediocre at best.

11.2 oz brown bottle

Lion Imperial Premium Malt Pilnser had a clear gold body. A 2-finger white bubbly head was formed. The head held well and shrank to a foamy lacing that clung to the walls of my pilsner glass. The smell was clean, of fresh cut grass, bready with citrus notes. The taste follows the nose with a sweet finish but enough hops to keep the pilsner balanced. The mouth feel is light-medium to medium. crisp and smooth.

Lion's Imperial Malt Pilsner is one easy drinking Euro Strong Lager especially for the abv. Nice job Lion...I am a fan!

3.52/5  rDev +16.9%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Poured into a pilsener glass, the appearance was a semi-hazy burnt yellow color with a slim white cap of a foamy head. Dissipated eventfully to leave a mild stringy sliding lace.
The aroma had some crisp sweet biscuits, grassy hops, alcohol whiffs, and a mild lemon scent - somewhat perfumey.
The flavor crushed all of the previously mentioned aromas together to create a fair perfumey, boozy and herbally sweet aftertaste. Biscuits back this up too.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a mild sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt as projected. Booziness is there, but not as distracting as I thought it was going to be since I tasted and smelled it.
Overall, not a bad Euro Strong Lager, maybe again.
