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.

12oz - Copper color, light tan head, mild hops on nose, good strong malty backbone able to carry a sufficient amount of hops.

Nice balance, interesting color. Lots of yeast floating on the bottom. Fantastic aroma. And more importantly, my girlfriend liked it.

12 oz bottle from John’s - Has quite a nice aroma, but the taste is a bit disappointing. It’s kind of like the first time you try vanilla extract. It smells way better than it tastes.

~Pours a murky brownish red color with big lasting fluffy off white head. ~Good floral hop scent with lots of sweet maltiness. Smells like an IPA. ~Bitter hop taste, spicy floral hops. Mellow malts in the taste. I like, seems to be an IPA to me. ~Medium feel, dusty, dry hop finish. ~ A delicious treat. Pretty IPAish to me. Interesting brew.

Dark cloudy red/amber color. Nice tan head. Hoppy aroma balanced with roasted malt. Taste is smooth and hoppy as well, with a creamy texture. Didn’t impress me at first, but grew on me throughout the pour.

Yum. My favorite (but expensive) red ale. I love the carmel, the bitterness of the hops, the carmel and toasted nutty flavor. Yum.

The pour reveals a clear amber color with a medium tan head. Very good aroma of piney, citrusy and resinous hops. Solid flavor of piney, citrusy and resinous hops with some malt and a bitter finish. The body is light with a creamy texture and soft to medium carbonation. Very nice, one of the best amber ales I’ve had so far.
