Poured into a tall glass mug. It's a beauty; dark straw color with a thick three fingers of white head. The tall glass shows off the bubbles floating up and the tall head.

Quite fragrant for a lager. Strong malt/grain smell. A bit of ripe orange and pear.

Well, the taste is strong for a lager too; not up to an ale strong. Sharp bitterness from the hops. The pilsner malt is evident in a larger, strong quantity too. It's like a triple czech pils crammed into a normal glass. Lots of flavor.

Crisp texture, medium body and moderate carbonation.

A great job here. All the best of a normal pilsner brought out extra strong.

1 pt. 6 oz. brown bottle

Southern Tier Farmer’s Tan Imperial Pale Lager poured an orange gold color producing a minimal white head. The nose was floral; dominated by citrus, lemon and pine hops. The taste begins as the nose detected lemon, pine and citrus hops with a little malt in the background. The finish provided more lemon, and piney hops with a hint of spicy notes from the alcohol and lingering bitterness. Mouth feel is a little sticky but dry, with light alcohol heat.

Not being a hop head Farmer’s Tan Imperial Lager was a little too hop forward for me. If hops are your “thing” this American Double/Imperial Pilsner is for you.
