| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Pour is a plum color or maybe brown...tough to say. Virtually no head. Aroma of bubblegum, bananna and a little booze. Sweet and boozy with a fair amount of bitterness, Medium body and smooth despite the alcohol quality. I liked this better on draft. jake65 (1698), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Bottle: Dark caramel amber color with a smaller, but thick and creamy beige head. Nice lacing. Nose is bountiful with hops; grapefruit and florals. Nice amount of caramel sweetness. Flavor is a powerful belnd of floral hops and caramel sweetness. The citrus lays back and plays an accenting role. Dry and flowery, but still sweet and smooth. Thanks to The_Epeeist for sending this in trade. Beerlando (2313), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Pours a lightly hazy dark red color with a small, foamy, cream colored head. Scant, spotty traces of lacing mar the glass. The nose shows alot of resinous pine hop character up front, with a bit of citrus and floral mixed in as well. Caramel adds sweetness, while an alcoholic, medicinal note clouds things up a bit. Flavors follow suit, with caramel and toffee malts, resinous pine and spruce hops, and a touch of dry citrus and flowers. Perhaps a touch of cinnamon spice as well. Mouthfeel is syrupy and lacking carbonation, with a hot, medicinal feel. This beer just doesn’t do it for me at all. There are much better Imperial Reds out there.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Draught Small yellowish head, receding over pale chestnut beer. Hops and caramel, hopcake, (I know, I’m repeating myself... so are some Cal brewers), dry hop bales. Dry, medicinal taste, there’s a certain pharmaceutical that is similar, here ented on the dry hop flavour. Some caramel. Bit burning MF, slick, sticky. Avery Tomme A. interpretation of a hoppy beer.
