Can from lowcostbeer, 3 weeks past BBE. Pours a hazy orange-amber with thin small white head. Fruity aroma of pineapple, passionfruit, orange, mango, malts. Taste is juicy with tropical pithy and zesty notes, some herbs and spice with solid malt backbone, some alcohol warmth. Lovely.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 2 months past BBE. Pale clear straw colour with thin white head which doesn't last. Sweet aroma with grains and nice floral hops. Taste kind of follows, starting sweet and malty and then floral hoppy notes come in with a decent bitterness. Decent high but fine carbonation which works well and its not too light bodied. Looks crap but actually tastes pretty decent for the style.

Notes from 1/27/2009 Growler fill from Whole Foods. Poured into my Ommegang Anniversary glass. Awesome clarity. Lightly steeped tea/dark amber color, coating lace that eventually thins out into even wavelengths. Resin & pine dominate the scent. A whole level fumier then anything I've had in the can. Alcohol & sticky malts, turning towards bitter tangerine at the end of the whiff. Plenty of resin & grapefruit dominating the taste. A sharp sighting of malt right through the middle, finishing off with a doughy & dusty patting of bread crust & a linger of juicy rind. Definitely drier & more reminiscent of an imperial amber/red as the consensus here believes. Though not to the point the canned variety is. That version would probably score a little duller in regards to intensity. A sure stronger vibrancy to this serving. A growler wasn't too bad. No vertigo that a plate of leftovers can't cure. $10 later & Mondays still suck, but who'd remember? :P

Can. Dark gold with an ok white head. Aroma of malts, resin, stone fruits and some grapefruit. Taste follows aroma. Rather strong bitterness. Medium carbonation. Blanced and good but I suppose my sample was probably a tad bit too old.
