Imperial Pilsner (Smokestack Series)

How can a style as elegant and refined as pilsner be "amped up" to imperial status? The answer, as Spinal Tap guitarist Nigel Tufnel might say, is simple: you go to eleven. With its classic recipe and impeccable craftsmanship, Reverb Imperial Pilsner echoes our Collaboration No. 1 Imperial Pilsner, produced in 2009 with esteemed Belgian brewmaster Jean-Marie Rock. Like its predecessor, this summer seasonal is a study in delicately balanced contrasts. Up front, Pilsner malt makes a clear yet restrained statement, answered by the steady, harmonious hum of Saaz hops, traces of which linger in the dry, crisp finish. Rock on.

Corked bottle. Blonde, pours a steady head. Apple, hay and vanilla in the aroma. Alcoholic, yet grassy and slightly perfumed flavor. Hints of vanilla and citrus. Deceptively drinkable.

(Bottle) Golden yellow colour with frothy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with notes of bready malt, citrus, mandarin, grass, hay, peaches and fresh floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with bread, citrus (grapefruit, lemon peel), peaches, grass, hints of resin and a generous grassy, floral bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Hides the alcohol level quite well. Tasty and well made with a fresh hop character. Nice one.

750 ml corked bottle pour split. A little past the best by date, but I adopted it from the store shelf this way and treated it equally. Pours a dense yellow orange color with a grainy aroma with light hops. Refreshing, unique pilsner with a dry finish. Another solid effort out of the smokestack series. Good stuff.

Flaska från SB. Några månader efter BBD. Fina mjuka men rejäla pilsnerdofter och smaker. Lite smör, färskt bröd, örter, blomsteräng. Även smakbilden är fint nyanserad men med viss kraft. Måttlig beska, fin krispig avslutning. Alkoholen väl dold. Harmonisk och väl balanserad. Ett litet mästerverk.

Smak och doft av humle, malt, jäst, bröd, citrus, hö och gräs, toner av karamell och metall. Lagom sötma, bra beska.
