Deep golden body with a fizzy, off-white head, slowly diminishing. Aroma of sweet grains, alcohol, grass, pineapple, biscuit. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, soft carbonation. The sweetness is not unexpected from an imperial pils, but is excessive without many redeeming qualities. Hot alcohol in the finish, a peppery taste that lingers into the finish. Average. A 10% beer, to make it worth drinking, should have more going for it.

Tap. Orange/banana wheat malt and alcohol aroma. Dark brown with minimal head. Sweet banana, orange, and wheat malt flavor. Moderate alcohol and light molasses finish. Very smooth. Wish that this along with the HellBock would be regulars - these kick ass. (Knobs are the local vernacular for hills).

bottle at Fort Wayne tasting - Pours hazy yellow with a tinge of orange and a small white head. It has a malty, fruity aroma. The flavor is moderately bitter and well balanced with bready malt. There is some alcohol presence but I didn’t mind it. Quite good.
