This is hoppy for a pilsner. On the can, it is described as a West Coast-Style Pilsner. It seems they hopped a lager with all the classic WCIPA hops. It seems like there's at least Citra or Cascade in there, but I think there's some German pilsner hops too
The aroma is confusing, because the initial hoppy punch makes me think I'm drinking a pale ale, but then the crackery lager notes on the back end interact with the hops and you get this IPL Hybrid thing.
I wasn't sure whether to call it an Imperial Pilsner or an IPL. It feels like it shouldn't count as either. It's a West Coast-style Pilsner. Notes of pear, green apple, sugarcane and jicama grace the palate along grainy earthy sweetness from the lager malt. It also gets a kind of toasted coconut note in the middle, after the herbal tart hoppy notes dissipate.
The crisp bite of this makes WC IPA's seem heavy by comparison. This is a really interesting style and I wish people would brew more beer like this. Cheers!
