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.

My palate was head over heals for Hop Head Red Ale. If there is such a thing as Double Amber that this is it. Strong beer, Amarillo dominates aroma and flavor. Well practiced green dry hopping.

Bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a clear amber color with one finger white head that settles slowly and provides lacing on the glass. Aroma is hops, grapefruit, citrus, some honey and spice. Flavor is malty and hoppy with the grapefruit-citrus-like flavors predominating. Some orange and ripe non-citrus fruit notes come through as the beer warms. Generally medium body with a hoppy and sweet finish.

Sampled on 12/11/08. This amber/red ale pours a dark red color form a 12oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel malt and big piney and citrusy hops. A medium bodied red ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are piney and citrusy. The hops dominate in this beer. Good carbonation. Big hoppy amber. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is hoppy and bitter.

Reviewed 11/30/2008 (Tap @ Flying Saucer, Houston, TX): Pours a red, dark red brown color body, and a huge foamy cream-colored head, good lacing, and lasting. Has a hoppy aroma, grapefruity. Dusty nose. Strawberry fruit taste, some malts. Has a bitter aftertaste. A fizzy palate. Very harsh grapefruity taste and aftertaste. A little smoother as it warms. A very good heavily hopped ale.
