Appearance: hazed, golden hued, slim white head.
Aroma: grapefruit, tangerine, and more. Fruitier than I expected. Pithy citric aromatics. Loving it.
Taste: That big citrus returns in the mouth. Smooth, wheaty body meets big, fat alcohol. I love wheat-wines. And this one is delicious. Hangs heavy in the mouth, but you have to know that going in. Not for the faint of heart, but easier-going than a regular barley-wine. big, boozy, grapefruity wheat-wine. I'm digging it.
Perhaps not the optimum brew for this hot summer day, but there's not turning back now.
One question: do you have to call it "Imperial" when the style is already big and strong?
