Uinta Brewing – Uinta Crooked Line Titled Smile Imperial Pilsner – 750 ml. bottle poured into a goblet. 9% abv. From 38 Degrees Alehouse and Grill Alhambra, CA

Appearance: Pours a shiny yellow gold with a thin white film of head.

Aroma: German hops that you can smell from a few feet away and some apple fruitiness.

Taste: Fruity esters, bitter earthy German hops, slightly bready. Surprisingly no crazy plastic industrial notes I usually get from Imperial Pils.

Mouthfeel: Syrupy with modest carbonation.

Overall: I would have thought this was a Belgian Golden if I was tasting this blind, as it has a similar body and fruitiness to it. Enjoyable.
