From a mixed case of Sierra Nevada Beer Camp styles, I’m trying out the Imperial Pilsner (#43) tonight. It’s definitely a beefy Pilsner It has a nice fluffy, creamy head, and an earthy, grassy nose. On the tongue it’s heavily malty with some spicy kick. There’s a bit of bitter pine right at the finish as well. It’s got a medium body, so it’s heavier than a standard Pilsner but it’s still crisp and refreshing, and peppery spice in the middle makes this a nice treat.
I give it a 3.5 out of 5.
