Like the dscription says, possibly better thought of as a Red IPA. With that said, since I love hops, I’d drink this "amber"over any other one that I’ve tried so far. Aroma is intense, with strong hop resin...very inviting. Nice refreshing finish. I really enjoyed this one and will definitely return. ketchepillar (478), Viña del Mar, Chile

That being said, hops are tasty, this was tasty. Swalden28 (1449), McKinney, Texas, USA

Pours a hazy red amber with nice dark beige head. Aroma is of nice hoppy grapefruit. Has a great fresh hop flavor with caramel malts with a high hop bitter that is refreshing. Has medium heavy mouthfeel with medium-high carbonation. Over all a great IPA. ericandersnavy (1052), crossroads, Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Pours a nice dark amber, tan head that lasts and laces up nice. Hops dominate the aroma and the palate with a hint of malt in the backround. Mellows a little as it warms. very good Mrthirstyneck (341), Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 12, 2008 for an amber ale, it’s awefully Ipa-ish! Which is a good thing. Deep dark orange-RED color. huge faomy light tan head that laces like a banshee. Mostly hops on the aroma though i picked up a little malt sweetness too. taste is lots of hops with good amounts of sweet malts poking through, really nice beer. Finish is grapefruity hoppiness with nice malts mixing in. Finish seems to last a while and transfer to mostly a bitter dry grapefruit! Great beer! timfoolery (484), California, USA

I had a little taste of this one, but definitely want to try it again. It had the hints of grapefruit, typical of GF. Only, it was fuller and maltier, which is consistent with an Amber. Very good amber ale! mjg74 (1995), La Mesa, California, USA
