Jun 1, 2006 Aroma is chock full of floral and citrusy hops with candy sweet malt beneath. Body is a glowing golden color and holds a diminishing thumb thick white head. Big sweet malts in the fore, floral hops, cloying and hoppy/malty in the finish. Tastes like a Barley Wine Lite. Just not something I’m impressed by flavor wise. Very narrow flavor wise and not with flavors I’m gaga over.

May 31, 2006 I was surprised to see this bottle at Total Wine in McLean, VA! Pours a clear orange color with a lacing white head. Aroma is flilled with caramel and hops! The taste is amazing! Hops mixed with caramel sweetness. Ooooh, what a good beer. The finish is somewhat dry, making you want to drink more of it. A great beer from Dogfish yet again.

May 30, 2006 Bottle-The color was gold with a large fizzy head and mild carbonation with large bubbles. The aroma and taste was pretty well balance between the hops and malts. The taste was more sticky than creamy. Very satisfying, the alcohol wasn’t noticable. I didn’t realize the alcohol content until I had read the website.

May 30, 2006 Aroma is metallic/mineral filled with a bitter orange peel-hop twist and noticeable alcohol. Golden-yellow with a white head. Interesting flavor, pilsner with strong chewy caramel and dried fruit. like a pilsner barleywine. Touch of pine and fruit hops and again, noticeable alcohol and minerals in the finish. Medium-full body and creamy texture. Thanks to malachi for sharing.

May 30, 2006 Have to say I’m not a fan of lagers, but I didn’t mind this one too much. Tasted better at room temp than cold. Bit sweet, hops didn’t come through the way I expected as imperial to me implies our domestic varieties. Not too bad, but not my thing.

May 30, 2006 Market Square Liquors, Tallahassee, Fl. - 750 ml bottle. Medium goldne pour, firm white head, sticks around quite awhile. Aroma of spearmint and pear fruitiness - very fresh. Flavor has some minty notes, muted citrus, a back end of caramel and hints of alcohol. Very sticky mouthfeel. Warming, yet refreshing at the same time.

May 29, 2006 Bottle: Pours a golden color, nice head and lacing. Nose of bright crispy hops and clean malts. A very nice strong lager with smooth flavors, lots of maltiness and a balanced hop character. Nice hop bitterness and light alcohol. This is certainly better than the "other" imperial pilsner that is commonly available. Very nice stuff.
