Sep 7, 2008 750ml generously GIVEN by FlacoAlto. Aroma is very grassy w/ clover. The hop aroma is very good, but a bit too light allowing boring malt to come through. Hops in the flavor have more citrus character but are still predominantly grassy and flowery. The hops feel great all up in ma mouf. Finish is long and satisfying.

Sep 7, 2008 Pours a very nice cloudy gold with a big, soapy white head. Nice lacing as the beer goes down. Light, but very pleasant aroma: citrus and floral hops mostly. Flavor is pretty similar. Nice fruity hop bitterness, with a little bit of honey sweetness. This beer is awesomely crisp. The beer finishes with a slight alcohol burn, but I’m actually finding that kind of enjoyable at the moment. Very well done beer, a very pleasant surprise.

Sep 6, 2008 750 ml. Clear orange-amber with a large head that settles down to a lasting ring, leaving cobwebs behind. Aroma similar to an IPA: citrus, resin and flowery honey. Flavors are similar and well-hopped. Slight additional hints of dryish lager yeast, grass and alcohol that linger in the aftertaste. I would swear this was an IPA if it wasn’t labeled otherwise. Light-medium body is lightly carbonated and finishes dry.

Sep 2, 2008 Corked bottle and served in my big Karmeliet tulip:
A slightly hazed golden hue with a big fluffy head with left very nice lace upon the glass. The aroma has notable continental hop vapors, lightly fruity and herbal along with a biscuity and dusty ester. The taste is a wonderful balance of crisp clean hop bitterness and properly done pale malt additions. Hint of earthy and herbal notes around the edges. The best part is that the alcohol does not get in the way of the flavors like a few other "Imperial Pils" that I have had. Lively and refreshing, dangerously drinkable considering.
This is a VERY WELL DONE BREW! I am honestly surprised by this beer, in a good way. Worth the money IMO and that is saying something at $12 a bottle.

Aug 31, 2008 Celticbrew comes through with another winner, that he shared with Buddy Steve, myself and the Truely Comedic (Loved the Pig Joke) Drbayern! This was a great beer! Loved the hoppy aroma upon pouring. It was clear, light yellow, with a nice off white head that held wonderfully. The mouthfeel was wonderful. The bittering made me want for more! Mikkeller can’t seem to do wrong!
