Morimoto Imperial Pilsner
White ceramic bomber, capped, but supplied with a swing top. A pale gold body, topped by a hefty, bubbly white head which starts out at about four fingers, and very slowly drops, leaving excellent lacing. Nose has some grass, a dash of lemon, and a hint of grapefruit. Taste starts off with a solid, sweet malty base, which gradually dissolves, as the hops slowly rise, zombie like, as the beer moves on, and envelope the month with a cleansing sand-blast that is both tingly and earthy. Mouthfeel is smooth and almost creamy, as the beer rolls over your tongue like a rising ocean tide. Drinkablity is simply too good. This beautiful bottle is emptying far too soon. At $12.99 for 26 oz., it is not a beer I could make a habit of, but I heartily recommend everyone picking up at least one. And assuming the price is at least partially effected by the bottle, I would gladly welcome more conventional packaging in exchange for a lower price. Great bottle yes, but great beer is it's own reward.
