I hope it's better than the Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner which I found
somewhat underwhelming. I guess I've become jaded when it comes to
hoppy beers, but I didn't sense 110 IBU in that beer as I've been told
it's supposed to be.

We had a nice little tasting organized and the Sam Adams was after a
Sudwerk Doppelbock (Good, but not as good as last year) and before a
Great Divide Titan (Excellent!!!).

Talk among yourselves, I'll give you a topic:

Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner is neither Imperial nor a Pilsner.
