On-tap at Pacific Coast
A: The pour is a dark amber color with a minimal head forming that is khaki in color.
S: Some floral hops to start along with a definite earthiness. There is some toffee and caramel in terms of the malt character along with a bit of a chalkiness. To be honest, for a big beer like this, the nose is pretty mellow.
T: There's a decent bitterness on the palate along with some citrus hop flavor. Fairly decent malt character such as toffee, caramel, toast, and roast. There's an unfortunate cough syrup flavor in there too, though.
M: The body is medium and the carbonation is low to medium.
D: My first "Imperial Blue" Ale! But seriously...this wasn't all that great. Sadly, it was one of their better beers.
