12 oz can from the local grocery build your own six pack case. A slight bite to it, but overall this imperial pils is smooth and easy drinking. Soft grain and mineral nose. Crisp pils grain with a slight warming finish. Solid and unique style offering. Good addition to an impressive Pelican lineup.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy bright golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of sweet bready malt, a hint of caramel, and resinous/piney hops. Flavour is very hoppy, with lots of bitter piney hops, bitter citrus peel, with a crisp bready malt base. There's a fair bit of alcohol noticeable here, but it melds well with the malt and hops. Hop-wine is indeed a good descriptor. Good but not the most complex barley wine.

12 oz bottle picked up in a mixed pack of grocery store strays. Tasty early in the day brew, as it has lots of fresh fruit flavor, amd drinks light and easy. Aroma wouldn't be obviously raspberry in a blind. Jammy raspberries over a soft grain. Lingering raspberry toast palate. Tasty brew when in the mood to fruit the beer.

Bottle. Deep brown color with a finger of tan head. Nose is smoke forward, but not over-the-top. Some dark roast espresso. Flavor is smooth, lightly sweet with lots of earthy smoky bits. The 7% is well hidden, silky and smooth.
