12oz bottle with a date of 2007 on it, under the Golden Era label.
Pours a golden orange color with a fair sized head, fades really fast though and doesn't leave much lacing, although some patchiness remains as it empties the glass.
Smell is lacking in hops, but is to be expected in an aged imperial pilsner, the aroma is replaced with sweet malt and a tinge of what I make out to be orange zest.
Taste has an odd vegatable-ness to it, but it's only in the aftertaste, for the most part it's sweet malt with a light fruitiness, carbonation is crisp, not much in the way of bitterness, easy to go down but I'm sure this was much better fresh (had it fresh years ago, just can't remember what it was like).
