Silver & Gold IPL

Silver & Gold IPL, Great Lakes Brewing Company, Cleveland, OH
(Strong Pale Lager/Imperial Pils, Rated 90)

A fantastic beer celebrating Great Lakes Brewing Company's 25th Anniversary, this india-style pale lager pours a nice golden, copper color. Aroma is hoppy, resin, pine, and spicy. Taste is light at the start but then a nice hop-malt balance. Lots of citrus hop and resin. A slight booziness (7.5%) to it. Dry finish. I've had only a few strong pale lagers and this one rates near the top. Excellent beer!
