One of the nicest looking beers I’ve ever had... deep, dark red body with a frothy reddish tan head. Lightly floral hop aroma and some sweet caramel malts. Flavor starts out with a strong hop character. Rye comes out in the finish and blends nicely with the crisp hop bitterness.

Aug 18, 2008 bottle- disappointing tea like taste and mouthfeel. not the spice I was looking for. Hops not present. Oxidized. Perhaps this was a older bottle, so I would try it again, but very unimpressed.

Aug 17, 2008 Pours with a light brown, creamy head covering a clear red body with some particles. Grat lacing. Aroma of malts, currants, some caramel and rye. Taste is sweet and malty with a nice hop bite. Tastes like an imperial red but with less alcohol. Lively bubbles. Great beer.

Aug 13, 2008 On tap at Founders. A great red colour with a lasting off-white head. Strong rye kick with bitter hoppy followup. A great beer.
