    This hoppy Amber lager has returned to the shelf and is now in 6-packs! Lil' Wheezy has been released- you'll most likely start seeing it, this week. Enjoy!

    Lil’ Wheezy is a light bodied, heavily hopped, amber colored lager. Unique earthy hop characteristics are balanced slightly by the full grain attributes. The finish is bitter, and sharply resonates on the palate.

    7 % ABV
    76 IBU

    Do you know if the new variety packs are leaving Imperial's warehouse yet?

    So I just went to the store to grab some wheezy and came across this.

    Does the Elk Rapids bottling line ever sleep?

    It could be my Shorts homerism coming through, but wheezy and quasar are tasting wonderful right now. Hops and malt are balanced perfect in each. Bummer I'm going to have to plow through these to make room for PGGB

    I can't believe how good this beer tastes. It's such a great mix of so many different things. I'd love to see it brewed with an ale yeast too, though it's delicious now.

    My thoughts mimic this when I first enjoyed this one last week. Not at all what I expected and was more than pleasantly surprised.

    I'm going to have to pick up more before the shelves run bare.

    Wow, shorts is king of hops. Best amber I ever had. Really infused with hops
