Commercial Description:
Often referred to as Burning River Pale Ale's big brother, this stock ale is remarkably balanced for such a highly hopped beer. A rich deep blood red color makes this beer scary enough to be served every Halloween and a few other times of the year.

Had on tap last October in Pittsburg. Deep red color, phenomenal aroma. Absolutely pinpoint precision hops/malt balance, with enough hops to kill the sweetness from the high alcohol content.

One of my favorite beers of all time. Had most recently on draft at Mad Mex. Pours such a wonderful blood red. I just can’t wait to taste it when it’s poured. Great balance of carmel hops flavor. Never a disapointment.

This is a wicked beer. I call it a angry beer. It is very smooth for a hoppy beer. Its red color is impressive to the eye.

The cool blood red color is enough to get your attention but the taste will make you an instant convert. Get a driver when enjoying more than 1.

Dark amber with big, foamy, tan head / Herbaceous, piney nose / Medium, sticky body with sharp hop finish / Flavors of grapefruit, lemon, burnt sugar, and pine / Terrific, but pretty much a 2ipa I’d say.
