Brewed with German Pilsner Malt, lightly hopped with German Callista and Huell Melon then dry hopped with Wakatu during an extended layering period. Bready Floral aromas, this lovely lager delivers notes of Soft and Sweet Tropical Fruit, Smooth Melon and a burst of Lime through its sweet, crisp finish.

Canned on 7/13/2021. Poured into a Pilsner glass. It pours a slightly hazy, bright, grassy golden color with a thick, bright white cap and soapy lacing. It's highly effervescent. The nose offers sweet German malt, along with sweet, floral, tropical fruit notes. This is a very sweet pilsner. It opens with the German malt, augmented by honeydew melon, stone fruit, and red berry from the Callista and Huell Melon hops, and a hint of dry, white wine from the Wakatu. The mouth feel features lively carbonation and the 7.1% ABV seems to be accentuated by the sweetness. Overall, I'm always skeptical of "Imperial Pilsners" and this one is honestly too sweet for my liking. I understand what Icarus is trying to achieve but it's not my thing.
