Oct 17, 2009 12oz bottle via trade thanks to badbeer on BA. This is not badbeer, it’s goodbeer. Pours cloudy yellow-orange with a large off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is wheat, banana, spice, and citrus. Flavor is very tasty, wheaty and a little yeasty with banana, clove, citrus, coriander, hops, and a nice mix of malts. Palate is medium-full and slightly syrupy - hey, it’s 9.6% ABV though, you sort of expect that. Overall very good, which I expect from New Glarus.

Oct 12, 2009 The "imperial" here is that the flavors were big and long-lasting. But that’s not to say I liked the flavors that were made big. Some fruity banana, a bit of spice, and a strong hoppiness that hung on for a long time. Hazy yellow with a big, loose and complex head, with a really lovely sparkle to the carbonation. Fine but not to my liking.

Sep 17, 2009 The beer pours cloudy orange with a big off-white head, the aroma is citrusy with fruity and malty notes and a hint of strawberry. The flavor is big fruity flavor with orange citrus dominating, sweet hints of coriander spice. The palate is smooth with a heavy carbonation. This is a pretty awesome wheat beer, I love how the citrus and spice meld, alcohol is barely noticeable.

Jul 1, 2009 [Bottle] shared by STLWill. Pours a hazy gold with a large beige head. Aroma is of beets, candi sugar, and dusty wheat malt. Flavor is fairly one sided and very sweet. Lots of honey and orange. Lightly tart.

Jun 30, 2009 Not your typical hefe, but it’s still damn good. The hops used throw it off a bit for the style but it’s still tasty as hell. A little bit like the NG Crakd wheat but not quite as dry of a finish, and a thicker mouthfeel.

Jun 16, 2009 A gift from kp. 12oz bottle, with red foil. Pours a hazy orange. White foamy head. Aroma of oxidized esters of alcohol. It smells like a musty, aged, English-style Barley Wine. It smells like it is gonna finish warm. Bold and heavy bodied. Rich malt complexity. Medium sweetness. Flavor of cracked wheat. Lots of clove and citrus. Very nice hop profile. Very bold bitterness. Hop flavors linger on the palate. Finishes with a citrus peel bitterness and a touch of pepper and fruit. This is a very big beer. Yummy too.
