Sep 27, 2009 Bottle, thanks to my friend Fredrik. Pours a deep golden color with a mediumsized white head. Aroma is hoppy with pineapple, apricot, pine-needles, grapefruit and some malty caramel. Flavour is also hoppy with tropical fruits, pine-needles, grapefruit and caramel. Medium bitterness - the hops are more aromatic than bitter... medium to full body, medium carbonation. Well, this is a nice brew - Imperial Extra Pale Ale is a good description since it’s not that extreme hop bomb/overly bitter as a DIPA can be.

Sep 27, 2009 It poured a clear golden liquid, with a medium sized foam that dissapeared quite fast and left just a little bit of lacing.
It had a fruity smell with allot of hops. I couldn’t quite pinpoint what kind of fruit, it was just a mix which I relate to hops.
It had a smooth mouthfeel and a medium bitterness. Tasted of fruity hops and lots of it, it also had something sweet. It had just a touch of acidic bitterness besides that it was quite enjoyable but not really fantastic.

Sep 26, 2009 THOUGHTS: It was OK, but probably my one of my least favorite Southern Tier Imperial beer. I know it was supposed to be one-sided. I just don’t particularly like its one side. Some beers just shouldn’t bee imperialized. The hops were way stronger in the flavor than in the aroma.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a light, clear golden orange without much visible carbonation and a small, off-white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was moderate butter cookies, buttered toast and cake; and moderate floral, perfume-like and lemony hops that combined to be a little pissy. The initial flavor was lightly sweet, acidic and rather bitter; while the finish was sweet, acidic and very bitter with a long duration. There was cookie, cake, citrus (lemon) hops, orange and lemon zest, floral, perfume hops and a little pissiness. The medium body was fairly dry with somewhat soft carbonation and a moderately astringent, every so lightly alcoholic, sort of metallic and dry finish.

Sep 23, 2009 Weak smell, but the taste is great. Nice hoppy flavor and a little flair of citrus with a dry aftertaste.
