pours a cloudy dark red with a nice two finger fluffy tan head. aroma is malt, hops, and subtle rye with grapefruit, orange peel, and pine. has a medium body with descent lacing and good carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma but stronger and with a little caramel to the malt. has a descent dry hop aftertaste and the hops and rye sit on the tongue for a while. very nice. it is also a touch sticky on the lips. it also has a little pepper in the aftertaste.

(7+) Similar flavour, pithy citrus bitterness, mild resin, light grainy undertones. (7+) Smooth average plus to medium bodied palate. (3+) Solid. Bottle, Coles IPA Festival, Buffalo

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.
