Beautiful, hazed yellow sun with a hint of caramel interwoven in the unfiltered body. A stiff orange tinted head keeps rising over the top with a life of its own. Aroma could be the best I’ve ever had. Righteous cloves with a equally prominent American c-hop flash. Lemon chiffon and vanilla buttercream treat with buttery baguettes a citric banana medley to the aromatic symphony’s delight. The aroma is just about as bright and sweet as it gets. Flavor pipes in with an amplified affirmation of the preceding aromatic sequences. Cackled white pepper rides with sugar cloves for a bright, snappy soliloquy. Honeyed marigolds give a bright, herbal essence to the citric brightness from the c-note profile. The body builds to a heavy presence on the palate, presenting a hefty challenge for the tongue to heave it up after the bitterness and sweetness set into it. Tingly sensations of bright vanilla coated cloves intertwine with crushed white pepper and cackled cloves for a lively, bitter clean finish.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle shared at the DC Local tasting. Pours a cloudy orange with a frothy, creamy white head. Heavy carbonation. Aroma that’s wheaty, lemony, some light cold smoke. Chalky in the mouth. Flavor is earthy, classic hef, spices, wheat, sweet, a little tangy. Finish is thick with a touch of alcohol burn.

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.
