Samuel Adams Hallertau Imperial Pilsner
A: Pours a hazy golden orange color, creamy light tan head and a healthy carbonation factor to bring out the incredible perfumy hop aroma. S: Labeled as 12 pounds of Hallertau hops per barrel it definitely makes a presence on the nose. The noble hallertau hops definitely make an impact with a huge perfume aroma of fresh flowers. F: The hopping is very big and spicy, yet is not overly done and is very well balanced and refined producing a beautiful spicy and hoppy flavor with some fresh flowery notes with light citrus notes. The finish is dry with a nice fresh flowery hop fade and resin lacing left on the tongue leaving you wanting more. Wow a very nice change to have a 100+ ibu hoppy beer that is not west coast hopped, but rather a noble hopping which I believe may be a first of this magnitude. M: beautiful, fresh soft flowers and spiciness D: heavenly.
