Imperial Pilsner by Rogue
As a longtime fan of Rogue I had to give this one a shot when I saw it in the World Market's beer section. at 12 bucks for a 750mL bottle it's a hair expensive, but it IS an 8% brew, after all.
For something hopped in the range of many IPAs (70 IBUs total) the Sterling hops used keep the brew pretty restrained, with only a little bit of the in-your-face hop bite that you expect in an IPA. Hugely full bodied as well and overall superbly balanced. Color was pale gold, slightly cloudy. Extra benefit: The bottle has a swing-top, making it very good for reuse in homebrewing I'll just hafta scrub the silkscreened label off. Overall--I'd very much reccomend the imperial pils to anyone who's a fan of bigger beers, or likes the crisp pilsner style. |
