Oct 13, 2007 Strong aroma of hops some citrus fruit. Yeast. Cloudy golden. Foamy white head. I don’t like the head. Very light and hoppy taste. Some yeast in the aftertaste. Spices and citrus. Decent, yet there is something lacking. Full mouthfeel, not too much carbonation. Good beer.

Oct 5, 2007 Served from tap in a sniffer at the Bocktown. Ubiquitous american lager color but with a slight haze.Has the same aroma as many mild IPAs I’ve tasted. Very bitter initial taste impact. Also has a malt and alky character that gets in your face. This is certainly more than a regular beer. Decent carbonation and a very strong lingering finish. Rather rude for a beer but it’s tuff for americans to hide 9%. Scores pretty low on the cheapdark enjoyability scale. Will not buy again. Cheapdark is not good enough to appreciate this beer.

Sep 29, 2007 Slightly cloudy straw colored pour, smallish white head. Nose is very light perfume, a bit flowery, very small amount of hops. Light bodied palate with moderate carbonation. The flavor is more of the flowery perfume from the nose.

Sep 27, 2007 For sure a big lager. Not too pilsnery but good overall. one of the best heavy light colored lagers out there. Nice hoppyness and malty to pair.

Sep 27, 2007 It poured a pale yellow with a big white head. The hops came through first and lasted through a lingering aftertaste. The hops seemed to mask the effects of any malt. It was light and refreshing on a hot day, but out of balance. The term Imperial implies strong or extreme. In this case it appears to mean over-hopped.
