Samuel Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner

Name - Samuel Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner
Country - United States
Type - American Imperial Pilsner

Appearance - Poured a cloudy straw color that was almost orange. Nice sized white head.

Smell - Quite hoppy for a pilsner with hints of floral notes.

Taste - A sweet hoppy taste. There was a significant citrus taste to it but what kind of fruit escapes me. Finished very smooth. This is not your typical store bought pilsner.

I was extremely surprised in how good this one was. It’s hoppy indeed but I don’t think it is overpowering with those bitter hops that you might expect from IPAs or other ales. I really like the sweetness to it as it stands out but is not over powering. This was the last bottle I saw in the store and hope that I can find it again as it was a very good one. Yes this is getting a good rating.

Overall Grade – A
