A hopped up, pumped up pilsner. I like the premise. I have a pint can from an East coast retailer that is going inside of a small bar glass giving a view of a clear gold-yellow body with a stupendous head of white foam that eventually calms down. I smell grain and citrus, not real surprising. The drink stays heavy with grain, malt and a nice little hops finish. Is that a touch of cantaloupe in there? For a basic tasting beer this is a pretty decent brew, good sensation, curious name and a higher abv. All right by me.

Can: Poured a black color lager with a nice large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with nice clean cereal notes. Taste is also a good mix of roasted malt notes with some clean cereal notes and is lightly bitter finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Solid lager with really good drinkability.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: burnt golden orange color with a thin white foamy head which quickly dissipated to leave barely any lace
Aroma: citrusy and danky hops in front, subtle clean malts further in the back
Flavor: bittersweet combining through all the previously mentioned aromas, mild citrusy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied with more of a sipping sort of quality to the beer, subtle hoppy grip on my tongue
Overall: good as a DIPA, I could return to this.

16 oz can from Kevin, thanks pal, 12/28/25. It pours a murky yellowish color with a fizzy white head. Tart, orange, lemon, juniper, grapefruit, and some floral notes. Drinks tingly, light bodied, but not watery. Pretty solid overall.

16 oz can from Kevin, I think, thanks (assuming this was actually from you), 12/16/25. Mostly clear reddish-brown color with a fizzy tan head that dissipates fairly quickly down to nothing. Sweetened coffee, caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Drinks sweet, slightly sticky. Light boozy heat on the close. Pretty good overall.

16 oz can from the BA Big Beer box. Aroma is grassy, chalky. Pours nearly clear golden with a one+ finger bone-white head with good retention. Taste has a moderate herbal bitterness backed by some typical malt sweetness. Pillowy, nearly champagne level carbonation and mouthfeel. Herbal bitterness lingers long on the palate. Imperial Pilsners are such a weird lager subcategory. They don’t really have the attributes of a normal strength Pilsner, including the crispness I crave from them, but the different flavors created by only amping up the ABV are fascinating to me.

My 2,400th New Jersey beer rating. 16 ounce can from brewery. Amber orange pour. Frothy beige head. Bready malt aroma has toasty notes. Flavor is sweet, toasted malt and bittersweet, spicy hops. Nicely balanced hop/malt component. Astringent, peppery hop finish on backend. Picked this up at brewery about two months ago and just getting around to rating it. Ben4321 beat me to the first rating. My bad.

12 oz can from Icarus, 9/11/25. Pours a mostly clear golden-orange color with an off-white head that leaves moderate lace on the glass. Big ole biscuit and bread aroma with some spice and herbal notes. Slightly earthy as well. Maybe a hint of caramel. Balanced by a nice dryness on the close. Enjoyable.

12 oz can from the brewery, 9/11/25. Pours a mostly clear golden color with white head that leaves some decent lace on the glass. Lemon, grains, pepper, and some dough. Nicely dry, with a somewhat bitter close. Lively carbonation. Really easy drinking / crushable beer. Quality offering.
