Imperial pint can (arguably excessive). Clear amber with a large near white head. 3+ Pretty reserved aroma with mango, pine, caramel. Medium bodied. Opens up in the taste with more citrus and pine, sweet breadcrust or bun meeting the mango. Can feel the alcohol a bit towards the fairly bitter finish. Doesn't do enough to justify its strength but it's pretty good.

Can (8/7/24) from Greg & Jane's. Virtually opaque dark brown w/slight mahogany, thick head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt, molasses, toffee. Taste is strong earthy molasses and toffee. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Not sure it's quite like the original but excellent strength and is tasty in its own right.

Can from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours clear gold with a white head that laced a little. Aroma of grass and rye. Med body. Flavor is rye and grass - and a bit of spice tho whether from rye or the Noble hop? Great flavor for a light beer.
