Saaz Hopburst 750ml, 6.2% - Netherlands

Bottle 11/288. Brewed on the 6th of November 2009.


Pours murky amber with a huge, crispy head which takes ages to settle. A lot of sticky lacing around the glass.

Different varieties of hops in the flavor. Malts, citrus and light bitterness at the finish.

Juxtaposition 355ml, 10% - USA

Juxtaposition Black Pilsner - Stone / BrewDog / Cambridge

Poured very dark brown with a small tan head.

Fruity and sweet aroma. Slightly nutty.

Fine roasted malts up front, some licorice, light bitterness with a burnt taste. Hoppy with citrus.

Not bad at all!

Panzer Imperial Pilsner 650ml, 9.5% - USA

Clear pilsner appearance with a tiny head which settled instantly.

Fresh malty aroma, hints of grapefruit and orange.

Very strong taste of alcohol. Malts are highly pronounced here. Grapefruit is present, as well as various types of spices. Bitter aftertaste.

I'm not sure that a pilsner of this caliber is my thing, I'd rather stick to Czech pilsners.
