Apr 25, 2008 Pours a hazy dark gold color with a nice off white head.Great sweet,almost candy-like hop aroma,with citrus and pine aromas. Flavor is of hops,and more hops with just a touch of malt backing. Great bitter finish that lasts and lasts!! Well done!

Apr 24, 2008 12 oz. Hazy orange pour with a thin white head. Smells pretty nice - citrus zest (esp. orange), pine, fresh cut grass. Really fresh and green. A tiny bit of alcohol comes through. Enough sweetness in the aroma to balance the hops. The hops hit me a little differently than usual for some reason. Down the sides of my tongue. Finish is like hops and seltzer. For some reason, I don’t think it’s overly hoppy, but it could just be me today. Good body and carbonation. Really the only Arcadia beer that I’ve had worth drinking. Well done.

Apr 21, 2008 Fresh ,sprite, fireworks type of hops, citrusy and piney at first ,settling down to a spicey grain grapefruit rind aroma. The taste is a cluster attack of multiple incoming hops. The citrus hops challange those tongue twisting bittering hops for possesion of your bittering taste buds,war ensues ,millions of taste buds lives are lost, the malt is just a poor bystander lobbing little gernades of flavor ,hopelessly trying to balance this nectar out, but the Shock and Awe rocket attack of hops is completely dominate. When the smoke clears ,its that wonderful bittering impression that stands victorious,and all the hopheads on your tongue weep for joy and wave the Arcadia Flag. Truely a gift for a martyr’s paradise

Apr 21, 2008 12oz bottle bonus from a ways back, not sure from who. Pours gold orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet and hoppy with lots of resin. Taste is overall pretty nice and big, with a lingering citrus hoppyness. Good overall brew.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle: Pours a slightly hazy orange gold with a white head. Aroma, bright floral notes, with some citrus and pine to round out. Flavor, lightly sweet pale malts, lots of floral hops, some juicy citrus notes, very floral on the finish, a mellow balanced bitterness on the end. Medium bodied, very soft carbonation. Quite tasty.

Apr 19, 2008 Bottle. Nose is lightly floral mixed in with pine. Pours a orangey gold with a slight but persistant head. This one was very close to being really nicely balanced. Slightly bitter from the hopping, the malts hang in there and hold there own only to tire and give way to the hoppiness. I enjoyed this one and would have it again.

Apr 18, 2008 Bottle. Pours a wonderful honey color with an eggshell colored head that disappears quickly and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is huge with citrus, flowers, pine, and just a hint of malt. Taste is very, very nice... a real kick in the taste buds with the flavor of hops. Just a little bit of the malt hitting you as you fist take a sip but mostly hops, hops and more hops. My favorite imperial to date... definitely one that I will be having again and most assuredly recommending to others
