solidfunk (1790) - Ontario, CANADA - MAY 5, 2013
Pretty interesting. Hoppy with nice head, carpet lacing. Orangish red. Smells hoppy at beginning, some barrel in aftertaste. A little bitter with some malt in finish as well. Average carbonation. On tap at brewery.

On tap at Alibi Room in Gastown. A reddish brown ale. Very well malted, with some hops following slightly behind. Not bad.

Ferris (494) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - DEC 8, 2012
Bottle - Bready malts. Dark amber, clear with a decent off white head. Sweet, bready and alcohol. Nice rich body. Not bad and great value.

The pour: a rusty brown or bronze in colour with a small off white head. The aroma: a bit mellow but certainly quite malty and sweet, some notes of floral hops, and grapefruit and citrus rind is obvious. A bit of woodiness or earthiness quickly follows. The taste: full bodied with a thick mouth feel, starts with a bit of sweetness but quickly follows with a long lasting bitterness. The verdict: a nice beer but lacks anything making it a special or unique experience.

650mL bottle to pint glass Aroma of pine, black currents, and a bit of sweetness. It pours a clear deep red with a nice 1cm head with some lacing. Flavours are of malty sweetness up front with a typical Phillips hoppy bitterness at the end.

Minimal aroma heralds mild taste. Pours copper-coloured with minimal white head. Medium-bodied and carbonated with a soft finish. Pretty basic stuff, despite the promise of a cool logo and higher than normal alcohol content. Not much to celebrate or critique in this decent, somewhat pedestrian offering.

presario (4406) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 17, 2012
Bottle. Frothy head on copper. Aroma is quiet for a big beer with touches of grain, hops and light caramel. Flavour is like the scent. Seems a bit quit fir Imperial. A bit of tinniness and linger woody hops and caramel.

gramity (1056) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 8, 2012
Pours a clear dark maroon, with a small off white head. Smells of some sweet malt, and profound hops. Typical amber aromas here. The flavor was actually more on th hoppy side, but a tad bit bland. The hops were noticeable, but not too much else rally stood out to me. Some malt presence, but kindof weak.

Light malty nose. Dark brownish red colour, tastes mostly of flowery hops, but not overbearing. Not exciting, though.

patricks110 (1214) - Alberta, CANADA - MAR 3, 2012
Pours out a dark amber with a finger of yellowish head and a bit of lacing on the glass. The nose is sweet, mildly hopped with floral and grapefruit notes. A bit of caramel sweetness in the middle with some grapefruit and a nice resinous hop throughout. Overall, this is a good beer, but somewhat underwhelming and bland for an "Imperial Red"
