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...

This beer pours a clear golden color with steady carbonation and a small white head that holds up well. Not a lot of aroma but grain and malt are noted. First sip is alcohol. It is, again, grainy, honey, and malty with an aftertaste that is big and bitter. That aftertaste dominates and is a detraction. Not a quality offering.

Bottle from Archer Liquors. Pours a rich gold with a large and thick creamy white head. This has a rich flavor of a pilsner that is slightly stronger than it should be. Didn’t care for it.

Pretty disappointing overall. Aroma was weak with only a hint of hops. Flavor was bland malt with some hop notes. Nothing really good here...

Clear deep golden yellow with a thin white head, slowly dissipating and leaving waves of lace behind. Aroma of citrus, noble hops, pale malt and some mild floralness as well. Taste of citrus and floral hops backed up by some sweet malt. Smooth body has moderate bitterness with a touch of floralness. Finishes up citric and light dry with some warming effects.

Pours a nice orange yellow color with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet malt almost orange juice citrus notes. Flavor is relatively sweet malt. No real hop character pretty decent.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange-tan color with a quick-fading patchy head. The aroma is sweet, with some orange alcohol laced notes. Really captures a lot of different tastes. Solid dry bitterness up front gives way to a rich, piny, sugary, sweetness. Mild honey notes as well. A pretty decent beer, a little underrated at the present. Perhaps a little too much sweet alcohol for it’s own good.

Pours darker and a bit thicker than a normal pilsener. Hop grassy/floral aroma makes itself known. Clear and overall smooth. Slightly unbalanced, which is okay in an imperial. Hopped decently. Pleasantly surprised with this one.

12oz bottle. Small off-white head atop crystal clear amber body. Aroma is medium sweet, bread, light honey. Taste is moderately sweet, grass, bread, some honey, apricot, alcohol. Sticky medium-full body.
