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.

Brownish red with a fast-fading tan head. Aroma is fantastic, multi-note hoppiness which includes floral, citrus and vegetal aspects. Taste is also quite hoppy, with pithy citrus bitterness and a slight biscuity finish. Very clean on the palate, except for a steady, low-level lingering bitterness. Solid stuff, and very drinkable $2/12oz

Pours a dark opaque amber red color with a little beige head that is gone after a few seconds. The aroma is sweet juicy grapefruit and rinds with just a small hint of pine. The flavor is very bitter. Flowers, tea, and dank nuggs. There is a little bit of brown sugar in this, but the star is completely the bitter. The body is medium to light. Leaves a strong bitter on the tongue. If you are a fan of hops, this is awesome. If you crave a little more balance, look elsewhere.

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Dark amber colored brew. Fruity aroma. Fruity, hoppy flavor with crispy full hopbitterness. Nice malts. This is a very good amber.

Smells of citrus hops. Pours a deep copper color with a lasting, small off-white head. Tastes of juicy, grapefruit hops, and caramel malt. Very nice balance, very drinkable.

12 ounce bottle from a 6 pack purchased at the Davis Food Co-Op. Aroma is sticky, caramelly, musty maltiness with a bit of spicy hop character. Lightly sweet. I really enjoy the smell of this red ale. Transparent amber body with a slight ruddy hue present. Creamy, decent off-white/light tan head with some kick ass lacing. Start is lightly sweet, before it becomes nice and rich. Plenty of roasted and toasted malts come through. A little caramel is also there with some woodiness. Finishes a bit dry, spicy, and earthy. Not overly hoppy. Very well balanced a amazingly drinkable. Great stuff!

A deliciously hopped beer. I really like Amarillo hops. Lots of citrus in the taste with a resin hoppy finish. No sharpness, a very smooth drinkin’ IPA, I mean Amber Ale.

I really love this beer. If I could get this on a regular basis it would constantly be in my fridge, but that isn’t the case, so I only get it whilst traveling. The beer pour copper / bronze with a soapy light tan head. The aroma has lots of spruce and citric hops and lightly bready caramel malt that is very nice. This has both full malt and hearty hops. Medium prickly resiny body with perfectly sharp carbonation. The flavor begins with earthy, piny and grapefruit hops then some dry smooth caramel malt. The finish has a nice blen of heavily toasted malt and bold hoppiness. Thumbs way up for this truly great beer.

Pours dark mahogany with a soft off-white head. Good balance between the malts and hops. Warm caramel flavors finished off with a grapefruit hop finish. Crisp and bitter, with a bit of resiny hops in the finish.
