Darker golden with good, creamy white head / Nose of grass, bread, and honey / Medium body, malty and overly sweet, with good balance of hops on the hot, bitter finish / Flavors of honey and grass / Cloying sweetness detracts.

12 oz - Max’s. Clear gold, white creamy head. Candy bread aromas warm to light swirls of kettle corn. Messy malt liquor flavors of sweet honey malt and grains throughout. Medium bodied, soft carboanation, sweet finish. Better served from a 40oz in a brown bag...

Pour is a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is lots of sweet malt and not much else. Flavor is very heavy with lots of sweet malt, a bit of honey and alcohol. Another "Impy pilsner" that is a malt liquor with a pretty craft beer label on it.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The smell is slight citrus, hops, and fruits especially apricot. The look is clear, golden in color, and has an off white head. The taste is floral, hops, fruits, and some light bitterness.

Bottle courtesy of Mother in Law. More of a spice coriander than floral aroma. Golden body with white head. Flavor had a mix of sweet malt, coriander and moderate bitter. Thick body texture so heavy on the malt that is what sticks to palate. Different brew, alcohol warming affect.

Hazy copper coler with a thin white head. Floral hop aroma with a hint of citrus. Anitial flavor is rich and malty with a trace of caramel, finish is hoppy and dry.

Thanks 17thfloor for this bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a big frothy off white head. Aroma is a bit off, lots of malt and some caramel with a floral note that is a bit overbearing. Very sweet and a bit of a grainy note, surprisingly no alcohol. Flavor starts very sweet almost syrupy, very weird. There’s where the alcohol appears, whoa weird finish, metallic and very bitter spiced hops along with old bread. Bleck, the finish is a mess of flavors that are all fighting each other. Medium body and a softer carbonation. I just can’t get into this beer, it’s not right at all, the Sam Adams Imperial Pilsener is so much nicer
