Bottled. A pale golden beer with a huge light orangey head. The aroma is a bit on the light side with notes of hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, caramel, and fruit - especially oranges. The alcohol leaves a burn in the cheeks and the throat.

(Bottle 75 cl) Comes as "Dogfish Head Golden Shower". Pours a clear, deep golden with a dense, yellowish head. Sweetish, malty nose. Very full-bodied with a very solid malt base and a discreet bitterness. When it comes to Imperial Pilseners this is definitely one of the better examples. 160607

Home-bottled by hopsrus (thanks!!!) Golden colour. Grassy hops, citrus and rum in the nose. Loads of sweet malt, rounded and peppery. More or less a typical, albeit well made, strong Polish lager.

Bottled (thanks Degarth!). Deep golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is US hops, hay and not much other exciting things. Flavour is the same along with a slight sting of alcohol.

2006 bottle, 2-3 years old. Quite malty aroma, slightly vinous, hint of dried fruit. Cloudy orange colour. The flavour has some vanilla, dried fruit. A bit oxidized, but has the right level of it. The alcohol is there, but does not take over. Good.

Words: compared to harrold golden revolution

dfh is cloudy compared to crystal clear of the hr, dfh has a much stronger aroma of spicy hops and sweet malt where the hr has a softer aroma with the same sweet malt but much lighter hops, much more robust hoppy flavor in the dfh while the hr has a more traditional sweet malt and lighter balancing hops,
