Apr 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours with a off-white creamy head and a hazed penny colored body. Aroma is quite nice with orange, brown sugar, hops and alcohol. Taste is hoppy with notes of orange, strong alcohol and over all very one dimensional. Probably needs a couple months to settle down. Light carbonation.

Apr 13, 2009 Bottle from Binny’s South Loop. Pours a filtered/clear amber with sticky head. Nose is a whole lot of citrus and some resin, coupled with some light caramel notes. Alcohol comes out somewhat on the taste, but mostly hops coming through. Bitter and resiny hops, pine. Some caramel, though it’s used well here. Finish is dry. Bitterness is pretty aggressive. Pretty solid.

Apr 12, 2009 Amber pour, off white head. Caramel malt, spicy hops, and citrus make up the nose. Flavor is an odd malt taste with some muted hops. Something doesn’t sit right with this beer. It is almost really good then almost not so good. Enigma.

Apr 11, 2009 APPEARANCE:
Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a large off-white head that dissipates slowly. A good amount of lacing.
AROMA:
Floral citrus (lemon, orange), pine and caramel.
FLAVOR:
Similar to aroma. Citrus, pine and caramel malt. As the beer warms up I get some earthy flavors too. A tad more bitter than sweet.
MOUTHFEEL:
Medium bodied beer with. Soft carbonation. Relatively dry finish.
DRINKABILITY:
Very easy drinking beer. I hardly taste any alcohol at all in this 9% beer. If I were to rate this against a pale ale or IPA, I would say this is very good. It seems a bit simple and mild for an Imperial IPA.
