<\/a>While the guys don’t necessarily recommend pairing an Imperial Pilsner with BBQ Potato Chips, we certainly did.<\/p><\/div>\n
Karl:<\/strong> The Imperial Pilsner started off a pretty epic evening of beer drinking and reviewing, so I can honestly say I went into this with a clear head – and I’m kinda bummed to say that the Boulevard Imperial Pilsner did almost nothing for me.<\/p>\nMy first thoughts as it was poured were, sadly, “Well, it looks like Budweiser.”\u00a0 Very frothy, and just like a regular pilsner, only…well, more of it.\u00a0 If that’s your thing, then you’ll love it, but to my palate it’s just like amping up a macrobrew.\u00a0 You know how Dark Horse took everything that went into a Crooked Tree<\/strong> and just doubled everything and it turns out doubly awesome??\u00a0 It seems to me that this is basically the same idea, but without the awesome.<\/p>\nI got just a taste of banana from the Pilsner and a little sparkle of either 7-up or Sprite as well.\u00a0 The finish had a cloying, almost sticky feel, like when you’re dehydrated or really thirsty and then chug a can of soda – that coating of high fructose corn syrup feel, which wasn’t exactly pleasant.\u00a0 Sorry, Boulevard, this one wasn’t doing it for me.\u00a0 Can’t win ’em all.\u00a0 Thankfully, your Rye-on-Rye<\/strong> was up next which…well, we’ll save that one for next time.\u00a0 But you redeemed yourself with that one, in spades.<\/p>\nBottom line for me:\u00a0 You know that friend of yours that might be a bit of a lightweight but also swears by standard macrobrew swill?\u00a0 Switch out one of his normal pints for the Boulevard and watch him\/her get hammered on the incredibly smooth and subtle 8% ABV.\u00a0 Fun for the whole family!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
