Sep 18, 2008 Draft @ Shorts. Pours a clear, bright honey-orange color; off-white head with great retention and fine-bubbled lacing; a gorgeous pour. Solid amounts of earthy and citrus bitterness in the aroma; good levels of acidity; resiny, dense, and very solid citrus-laden nose. Medium mouthfeel: resiny, earthy and citrus bitterness with a nicely soft, earthly malt core; solid amounts of carbonation; good levels of acidity; very drinkable, generous, tasty pale ale. Solid rendition. Medium finish: earthy malts, some citrus, and just a touch of chocolate malts; nicely toasty, resiny, and dry end.

Jul 27, 2009 On tap at Crunchy’s, East Lansing. A hazy red-orange pale ale with a resinous, floral, citrusy nose and a rich body with berries, sugared toast, and big, potent, piney, floral hops. Long, bitter, somewhat astringent finish. A pretty big beer for something without the word "imperial" in the title.

May 20, 2008 MBG 7-22-06. Biscuity maltness up front, followed by citrus and faint pine. Flavor has nice balance of fresh orange and mango, through the middle biscuit and faint caramel malt profile. Mouthfeel a little thin at times. Decent session brew.

Jul 28, 2009 5oz sample at brewery 7/2/09-Pours a dark golden/light amber with a small off white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Burnt malt, hops, and citrus come through in the flavor. This medium bodied ber is not bad and a touch different.

Apr 4, 2008 Had this on tap awhile back. I was waiting for this to be posted. I am going from some rough notes the last time I had it. All I know is I want to try it again. Taste was big citrus and tropical, nice balancing malt backbone, finished with a big kick. Drinkable and delicious.
