Sudwerk 20th Anniversary Imperial Pilsner is on steroids

Today we cashed in our groupon to go paint-balling out in Canyon Country and IT WAS AWESOME! I'm bloody and bruised (my ankle is swollen from diving head first into bunkers) and I'm walking like a geriatric patient, but what a freaking day. None of us have played in years and we lost the first two games, but otherwise we pretty much dominated the other teams like we were the Harlem Globetrotters and they were the Washington Generals. It's the closest I'll ever get to experiencing actual Call of Duty and as a total nerd, I thought it was Sweeeet! What a rush. I'm coming back here again soon, and I'm bringing an infinite amount of paint. I'll be the guy with the codename WARLOCK.
Who's the idiot with a gun in his mouth? Oh
We're pouring Sudwerk's Imperial Pilsner, which is essentially a German Pilsner that started taking Viagra. In fact, let's go as far as saying this was me while drinking it:

It tastes excellent. I can tell it's an imperial because its body is beefier than typical pilsners in order to accommodate the increase in alcohol (7%). There is a citrus smell and a slightly sweet body, a noticeably American addition. It has that clean pilsner finish and the alcohol presence is felt but doesn't distract. It's an all around great beer. THE ROCK rating.
Afterwords, I joined Tiff at Angels Piano Bar where a New Orleans style Jazz Sextet was playing to celebrate Mardi Gras. I had a Sazerac for the first time, which is rye whiskey and absinthe, and loved it. The band thumped out a bunch of classics and a few off the b-side.

Oyo como va...
