Maybe I really need to try this one fresh on tap or something. In the condition I tasted it, there was way too much grain, a bit of sticky alcohol, and some lingering sweet-citrus hops. It was all to reminiscent of, and not markedly better than, some of the Scandinavian malt liquors I got to know too well over there a decade ago.

Jan 11, 2009 Bottle from VA when I went for Thanksgiving. For something called and Imperial Pale Ale this is a little light. In fact that is the second time in as many days that and Imperial something has come up short on flavor and character. What is there though is all about the citrus. Grapefruit aromas and flavors. Also big citrus peel flavors with a malt body that is decent bot not huge. A bitter grapefruit hop finish to set you on your way. Pours a pretty clear bright yellow color.

Jan 7, 2009 Pours orange, slightly cloudy, with a medium off-white head and decent (but not great) lacing. Aroma of citrus and sweet malt, can also lightly detect the alcohol scent. Taste is very citrusy at the start - strong orange, grapefruit flavors. Can taste the sweet malt in the finish, which is also a bit thick/sticky. This beer wasnt quite as good as I expected, but I will have to try it again - my taste may be off due to some cold medication I took a short while ago.

Dec 27, 2008 22oz bottle. Nice copper color with a 1 inch white head. Hoppy aroma with a nice malt balance. Hoppy flavor with a malty back, like a well made IIPA. In fact, not quite sure what makes this an imperial pale instead of an IIPA, but hell, it tastes good.

Dec 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Hazy amber, large off-white head with good retention, lots of lace. Aromas of citric hops and caramel. Flavor starts off with intense grapefruit hops, becoming sweeter with malts in the middle, some cream soda and caramel here, before a hops-bitter end. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel.
