Fairly hazy deep golden and light copper coloured body with a nice, but fast-dying and mellow pure white head that starts off at two centimetres and fades to just a thin layer after a few minutes. Aroma of light wheat, some grass, a small dose of curacao, a hint of coriander seed freshness and yes, interestingly enough some black peppercorns and more white pepper notes with a drying malt noticeable in the nose. Medium-bodied; Fairly rich wheatie notes show at first with a good balance that provides enough support for the deeper full oranges, light lemon peel and some deeper curacao and coriander seed notes that follow right behind, but again the dryness and 'darker' flavours of the pepper is noticeable towards the end. Aftertaste shows some dryness from the malts with a little bit of hops here as well and a slight kick of alcohol warmth that shows up right at the end along with a touch of sweetness from the fruits. Overall, a pretty nice and balanced, full-of-flavour beer that has pepper notes of course, but a bunch of the yeast, wheat, coriander seed and especially citrus flavours (full oranges, curacao and lemons here) that make this nice to drink, even in the middle of summer, which is when I had it, and not in the measly Oregon summer, this is in the heat of Washington! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Bend, Oregon on 29-March-2021 for US$3,00, part of Batch #305 (from bottom of can) sampled at my house here in Washington on the other end of the country on a hot day here in the summer on 22-August-2022.

On tap at Monkless, pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of floral notes, with subdued coriander and light peppercorn. Flavour is estery and chaotic, with coriander, peppercorn and booze. Somewhat of a fusel alcohol character. Rough but okay.

16 oz. Can from Tavour. Slightly hazy yellow color. Aroma is mild yeast, light citrus, subtle spice.

The flavor is a carbon copy of the aroma. In general is is a simple style. Peppercorns are subtle (thankfully not over done). This one is still well brewed without any flaws.

Aromaz are super mild to almost non-existent. Flavors are a little stronger slightly citric and spicy a little sweet the Carbonic Tang helps some. Body is on the soft side it's a pleasant beer but nothing too remarkable. A little warmth in The finish, I guess from being an imperial beer.
