Our 9th Anniversary Imperial Pilsner is brewed with German Malts & a blend of German Tettnang, Herkules and American Amarillo hops. This beer celebrates a milestone 9th year with the expansion of our biergarten & welcoming a winery, Craft House, coffee roasting company & restaurant to The Alley. The German word "Gemütlichkeit" is used to convey the feeling of warmth, friendliness, and good cheer often associated with enjoying beer in good company. This is something we strive to put in every liter of Enegren beer, whether you enjoy it in our biergarten or in your own backyard. Drink up! Before the Murder Hornets arrive... PROST!

Was so glad to see this at Windmill Farms on my last trip there. Would be the cheapest price around. The back of the can read, “Our 9th Anniversary Imperial Pilsner is brewed with German Malts & a blend of German Tettnang, Herkules & American Amarillo hops.

Poured a light amber clear color with four fingers of rocky white head. Calm underneath the head with no noticeable bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Decent spotty lacing. Average retention. (Sight - 3.75)
Smelled lemon zest, peppery spice, grass, herbal, hints of tangerine rind and cereal. Smelled fairly boozy, getting all that 7 pct. ABV. Just as good out of the can. (Smell - 4.75)
Taste followed the nose for the most part, but not quite as good. Still a boozy 7.5 pct. ABV. In order got lemon zest, aspirin, bitter pine, black pepper, herbal, grass, cereal, tangerine rind and sourdough bread. NOTE: Noticed the 55 IBUs on the can super late. No wonder so bitter. (Taste - 4.25)
Medium body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt, bitter finish. (Feel - 3.75)
Was back and forth on a few categories here, especially the taste. Was wavering between a 4.25 and a 4.50, which for me always means a 4.25. (Overall - 4.25)

Wowie... This one is firing on all cylinders like a bunch of jabroni kids playing stick ball in New York and being splashed by open fire hydrants. Like this thing is blasting like some dumb ass volcano when it got bored. Huge and sexy and kind of smooth like Johnny Football before he got into coke.
I’m outta here.
Peace.
