We’ve collaborated with Italian craft brewery Granda to make this really grape beer on our pilot kit. This full throttle 6.9% Imperial Pilsner balances punchy grape notes with subtle malt sweetness for hints of gooseberry, currants and soft citrus. Molto bene!
That grape aroma hits you right as you pour it, and the 6.9% ABV is hidden under that smooth malt sweetness—dangerously easy to sip for a pilsner this bold.
That 6.9% Imperial Pilsner is a sneaky one—the grape comes in bright and wine-like up front, then settles into that soft malt sweetness on the finish. I wasn’t sure about the pairing at first, but it’s balanced enough that I finished the bottle way too fast.
The grape flavor really pops against that clean pilsner backbone, and the malt sweetness keeps it from feeling too sharp. Wasn’t expecting such a smooth finish from something this strong, but it’s dangerously easy to sip.
