Aug 10, 2008 Orange - gold pour with a thin white head. Very clear. Not much of an aroma, some hearty grains and yeast and a bit of sweetness. Very grainy, almost corn flake like taste. Alcohol is noticeable but not overpowering . A bit of sweetness and fruit. Alcohol leaves a lasting aftertaste. This stuff isn’t bad, but a pale ale should be easy to drink and refreshing. Making this imperial doesn’t really add anything except a huge amount of alcohol and I think in this case it only hurt the beer.

Aug 8, 2008 bomber: Pours a hazy pale gold with a medium tight white head.
Aroma is light caramel malt and honey under a good dose of citrus hop
Flavour is a good balance. pine and citrus hop with a medium malt body pushing through. A hint of alc in the finish but nothing too hot.

Aug 6, 2008 A dork yellow color with a huge head. Hoppy and little fruit aroma. The hops are strong but not over powering. The alchahol is well hidden as this is a very drinkable brew.

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle supplied by steve taht DrBayern and CelticBrew and I shared. It poured a cloudy golden color. There was minimal head, but the fine lace remained around the edge. I found the beer to be somewhat thin. The hops was there, but it failed to knock off my socks, which I expoect with an American Strong. A nice beer though.

Aug 3, 2008 Slightly cloudy yellow brew, large thick whipped cream like white head. Pleasant grassy, orange zest aroma. Medium bodied, thick heavy bitter bite. Like chewing on fresh grapefruit peels...I love it!
