I love this label
Stevens Point has been brewing beer for a very long time and they know what they are doing. Whole Hog is a limited series of beers they brew that includes a Pumkin Ale, a six hop IPA and the Imperial Pilsner. You can only get the IPA and Pilsner in a four pack.
I have tried a number of Stevens Points beers in the past. They are in Wisconsin so getting their beer here in Chicago is pretty easy. I figured I would give the Imperial Pilsner a try tonight before it got old in my fridge (kidding, that never happens).
First, this is an Imperial Pilsner. In my opinion, Imperial Pilsners seem to be all over the place with no two really alike. That isn’t a bad thing, it can just be difficult to guess what your getting when you buy one.
Like most Imperial Pilsners, this one is rather light looking and could be any Pilsner in the glass. Medium head that fades quickly. Seemed a bit more carbonated than the usual.
I really like how crisp this beer is. It has a nice sharp taste. Strong hop smell and taste. Easy to drink and not heavy at all. It has a great hoppy bite for an aftertaste. Not even a hint of alcohol when drinking it so be careful.
This is a great summer beer that I plan to drink with a bratwurst, fried onions and mustard but could go with just about everything.
This is another good solid beer that can be consumed in quantities greater than one. Easy to find in the mid-west. I give it a solid B. Great for that every day beer in the fridge that works with most foods. Kudos to Stevens Point.
