Panzer Imperial Pilsner (Port Brewing Company)


A medium copper toned body and a fluffy head with sticky lacing feast the eyes as the Panzer Imperial Pilsner by Port Brewing is poured into the glass. Surprisingly tropical and sweet smells emanate from the beer with minor hints of pineapple accompanied by a bitter alcohol aroma. The taste is very layered with a strong hoppy and bitter initial taste which soon develops into a warm, buttery, caramel and toffee taste that vaguely numbs the tongue. As the glass gradually becomes less full the hop punch hits more and more like a tank and the warm aftertaste slowly disappears - a slight inconsistency in the beer that disappoints. The beer has a whopping alcohol content of 9.5% but tastes much milder than it's actual percentage. This in turn makes this beer highly dangerous due to it's drinkability - it goes down way easier than it should!.

Final Grade - 8/10
