A little cloying. Pours amber with a light, minimal head. Sweet, strong present right up front and dominate early, eventually leading to a clean, spiced hop finish. An unusual beer. Starts like a DIPA, finishes like a pilsner. Tastes good though! BrewDad (2378), Olympia, Washington, USA

Aroma – Nice malt and hops aroma with some spices lingering.
Appearance – Golden in color, light head and clear.
Flavor – Big Pilsener flavor as for an Imperial not sure I can go that far. Strong flavors with some nice spices added.
Palate – Good Mouthfeel, decent texture with a nice dry finish.
Overall – This was a fun beer ti try and the flavors where intense. I liked the high alcohol in this beer.

Pours a cloudy gold, white head, very nice retention. Aroma of malt and slight fruit notes. Flavor of malt, sweet, very nice, and alcohol is slightly detectable, blends in very nicely....Hops are actually not very detectable except for very well blended bitter in the end. Full bodied, medium carbonation....I liked this one! Nicely balanced beer... KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 17, 2008 Thanks xnoxhatex! [07 bottle] Pours a sunburnt orange/amber, syrupy looking. Oxidized sweet malty and grape aroma. Malt forward flavor, the hops come off salty. Some peach, honey, and brandy as well. Not at all what I expect from a Imp. Pils. Bright palate, fizzy. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA

Medium-thin body with slight creaminess. Nice, not overly oxidized but I would like to try this fresh. Oakes (8152), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 30, 2008 Hazy golden-amber. Chewy, oxidized nose with a berryish, apricotty fruitiness. Rounded bitterness, some really cloying doughy malts. Long, bittersweet finish in which the flavours don’t really even come together. Moreover, the hops aren’t terribly bright either.
