Aug 23, 2008 Pale copper color with a head that starts out enticing, but gives way at some point while drinking. Grapefruit/pine aroma. Well balanced flavor, but I was hoping for more out of an Imperial.

Aug 19, 2008 hazy golden color, thin head, with some lacing. aroma is wonderfully hoppy grapefruit and hints of pine. flavor is all bittery citrusy hoppiness. beauty pine finish which lingers. not a hop bomb, but a more delicate hop hop experience, enjoyable none-the-less. a respectable 8% abv remains fairly well hidden.

Aug 10, 2008 Orange - gold pour with a thin white head. Very clear. Not much of an aroma, some hearty grains and yeast and a bit of sweetness. Very grainy, almost corn flake like taste. Alcohol is noticeable but not overpowering . A bit of sweetness and fruit. Alcohol leaves a lasting aftertaste. This stuff isn’t bad, but a pale ale should be easy to drink and refreshing. Making this imperial doesn’t really add anything except a huge amount of alcohol and I think in this case it only hurt the beer.

Aug 8, 2008 bomber: Pours a hazy pale gold with a medium tight white head.
Aroma is light caramel malt and honey under a good dose of citrus hop
Flavour is a good balance. pine and citrus hop with a medium malt body pushing through. A hint of alc in the finish but nothing too hot.

Aug 7, 2008 Clear light amber with a fleeting head. Nice grassy, sweet malt aroma. Smooth medium body with mild carbonation. Good pale malt sweetness carrying flavors of pine sap and floral hops. Has a mild alcohol bitterness to finish. Enjoyed this one.

Aug 6, 2008 A dork yellow color with a huge head. Hoppy and little fruit aroma. The hops are strong but not over powering. The alchahol is well hidden as this is a very drinkable brew.

Aug 4, 2008 [1260-20080405] 650mL bottle. Sweet bitter citrus peel aroma with hints of bitter sweat. Slightly hazy, light yellow brown body with a quick foamy white head. Bitter navel peel flavour has sweet citrus hops. Bitter medium body. Yum!

Aug 3, 2008 Bottle supplied by steve taht DrBayern and CelticBrew and I shared. It poured a cloudy golden color. There was minimal head, but the fine lace remained around the edge. I found the beer to be somewhat thin. The hops was there, but it failed to knock off my socks, which I expoect with an American Strong. A nice beer though.
