Odell Double Pilsner
Had this for the first time in August of last year. Pouring it on tap now. Let's look at those notes, shall we?
Lightly hazed, bright golden hue, short white head.

Taste: Big sweetness, massive malt, for a pilsner. Drinks down deliciously. Perfectly integrated and balanced. I'm not a big fan of this style, and find them too sweet often, too boozy, too much like a "craft malt liquor", as evidenced by my comments above. But this is good! Sleek and supple. Alcohol's actually well hidden. Until...
I should know better than doubt Odell. The best version of this double/ imperial pilsner style I've ever had.
