Poured from the can into a Libbey style pilsner glass.
A gleaming dark brass body color, like deep 24 karat gold and crystal clear. Shiny amounts of fine carbonation just slowly crawling up the body. Head is frothy rich and good white colored, not horribly bright either. Easily three plus controlled fingers tall and thick retention, just a big bold aggressive looking pils.
Fairly pleasant if somewhat neutral nose. Lightly sweetened malt backbone, flirting with honey notes and a bit of bready sweetness. Thick sensing, minimal herbal hop presence but some. A bit closed, but aroma is nicer when examined a little more finely.
Nice simple palate. Rich bodied, hints just a little bit of alcohol sweetness kicking up a good malt base. Flirts with classic clean flavors but the heavier weight of imperial kicks in. Slight sensing thick honey, with a good bitter herbal contrast. Flirts with grass bitterness like tones, but more honey sweetness kicks in to be the forward flavor. Good rich finish, not too slick or syrupy. A bit of playful hop bite, and maybe even a little steely twang at the end also.
Good take on an imperial pilsner.

My parents were both (separately) refugees in Bavaria after World War Two, and my maternal grandparents still lived there when I visited them as a young teen (50 years ago). Now Costco (and my generous sister) make many beers from the region available in their 2020 Advent calendar. As an atheist who has had one of these Costco things before, I am making sure to consume these post haste, as a couple years ago they were all very can-bound by the time I drank them. That strategy is working as they are all good so far. I think I will stick other cans in the slots and open those during advent. I'll throw a Pepsi in one hole ("they can't all be winners, kid").
It pours perfectly translucent with fine bubbles. The aroma is subdued maltiness with faint hops. The taste is maltier than the really light ones from this brewer, and maybe a little hoppier. It is pretty weak for an imperial and really has little to redeem itself other than it seems well made.
Recommended. Drink it before it goes bad. I did not chill this beyond garage-cold (recommended).
