My Antonia (named after the Willa Cather read), is a continually-hopped imperial pilsner. This lager for ale lovers is citrusy, sweet and refined.

My Antonia started out as a collaboration beer when Sam brewed it at Birra del Borgo (hope you can read Italian) outside Rome, Italy, with owner/brewer Leonardo DiVencenzo in October 2008. In 2010, we began brewing My Antonia here in Delaware for U.S. distribution.

Reviewing this from my notes.

L: pours a light, golden body with a fairly silky and thick, white head with excellent retention and lacing.
S: earthy, slightly bitter hop smell with a slight, sweet, honey-oat undertone.
T: fairly strong hop taste, but nothing overbearing; probably similar hop profile as an APA. Slightly, sweet floral aftertaste that made it crisp and refreshing.
F: fairly light; crips and refreshing; excellent mouthfeel.
O: great feel and taste combo; very drinkable; alcohol is balanced and not overbearing.

From notes 10/31/11: Pours a slightly hazed gold with a thick lasting white head that leaves a modest coating of lace. Bready malt and crisp hop aroma. Nice balance of sweet bready malts and Noble hops; sweet middle, citrus finish with a bittersweet aftertaste.

Reviewed from notes. I poured this into a pilsener glass since it is considered an American Double/Imperial Pilsener. The appearance was a slightly hazy pale yellow with a two finger white foamy head that rises just a bit to mushroom cap just above the glass. She leaves some nice foamy thick lacing gracing the sides of the glass. The smell has a nice light spiciness adding to some pale malts. The taste was sweet and has a nice light spice to it. The aftertaste was spicy and sweet and leads to a dry finish. On the palate, it sits about a light to medium with a decent sessionability running about it. The carbonation is good for the style and good for me as its crisp and smooth. Overall, this is a great American Double/Imperial Pilsener well worth your time and well worthy to have again.
