473 ml can served cold into a chalice. LCBO purchase for $4CDN. Cool textured can. Canned April 19, 2023. Listed as 5.0% ABV.
Appearance - Sort of clear rich golden color. A finger plus of brilliant eggshell white colored head with lots of smooth frothiness. Streaky lacing left at the edges of the glass.
Smell - Clean and grainy aromas, nothing else really going on. Maybe the slightest woody undercurrent but it's mostly just standard pilsner fare. There's is a biscuity quality there too.
Taste - Initially general graininess then a sweeter than expected nugget of biscuity goodness with a trace of caramel. That's followed up by a slightly biting bitter finish. A touch of woody in bitter aftertaste. A differentiating point.
Mouthfeel - Moderate carbonation, body is a bit heavier and stickier that standard pilsner fare, but with the bigger flavors going on here, it's worth it. Given this thought, an imperial version of the oaked pilsner (with say 7% ABV and even more oak) is extremely intriguing.
Overall - Well made an interesting pilsner, one I'd love to see get the imperial treatment to even more fully develop the flavor profiles and characteristics that make this beer already unique.
