Commercial Description:
Resinous hop character and bitterness balance the rich caramel malt base. We took it a step further and Amarillo dry hopped the brew to 45 IBUs, creating refreshing and savory hop flavors and aromas. Is it Red IPA? That’s your call.

Pours a dark red with a beige head, good lacing. Smells like resin, floral and malt. Tastes like caramel malts with lots of hops added in. Definitely a bitter one. Great Red.

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber brown with a small dark off white creamy head. Aroma is a bit oxidized, some citric hops, lightly tangerine, some sweet candyish malts contribute a sugary character, kind of rock candy. Flavor starts with a big malt kick, very toffee and toasted malt caramel character. Picks up some more hops, citric and lightly woody and piney towards the finish. A light alcohol kick stays with the very soft bitterness. Medium body and a soft carbonation. Nice lil amber, if you can really classify it as such

Bottle from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquor, drank during the Winter 2009-2010 "Snowmagedon" Aroma is slight caramel with some hop. Nice hazy redish brown appearance. Nice hop taste with light malt flavor. I like "red" IPAs, definitely add this to my rotation of them.

Dark brown amber pour with a small frothy off white head. Spices, hops, and sweet, caramel notes in the aroma. Fresh hop bite, almost burns a little. A nice bitter flash of flavor with a good finish.

Cheers JoeMcPhee. Great syrupy aroma of fruity hops. Seems fresh and very appealing. Amber red colour with a tan head. Lace clings to glass. Strong flavour of hops and malt. Slick texture. Very tasty ale.

not sure if this is exactly brewed to style, but it’s definitely tasty! almost like a half barleywine. surprisingly bitter for 45 IBUS, at least those ibus didn’t go to waste with this one. toffee and caramel on the sweetish side ending with bitter floral hops. body is medium and keeps it from feeling too syrupy, the carbo is medium as well. comes together very well.

green flash tasting at bottleworks, jan 21. first taster. caramel malts evident and the hops provided just the right kick to the sweet initial tones. Really good brew.
