Panzer Imperial Pilsner
Just opened my first bottle of this at home and am splitting it with my wife. She got the first half of the pour and me the second. A: Pours an orange / gold color with very little head retention. Little carbonation bubbles throughout both glasses maintain themselves for a long period. S: For my pour (with some yeast), a good bit of honey from the aroma continue through the front of the mouth on the first taste. The first half of the pour in my wife's glass is much more orange-citrus. T: Very tangy, crisp taste from the second half of the pour, while much more citrus-y and balanced in the first half. Both are extremely delightful making me wonder what a more even balance between the two would yield. It is easy to imagine a crisp and robust lager with extreme flavor at the front. Both pours leave a perfect amount of hoppy bitterness at the back. M: Crisp and bubbly at the front, yielding in a perfect curve toward a smoothness at the back of the mouth and down the throat. This beer has a wonderful range of aroma, flavor, and feel and is a great experience to share with other beer lovers. Definitely something I hope to revisit. Special thanks to the Verdugo for having this one in stock!
