4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Beautiful sweet aroma that hits the right spot. The flavor is nice and crisp with a slight dry after taste almost like the after taste of grapefruit. A very pleasant experience and one well worth trying. Goes great with wheat crackers and Cheddar cheese.

Comes out of the tap a dark coppery golden with a thick, yellow-beige head. Rich, malty aroma has a spicy undertone. Mouth-filling malty flavor has tones of cloves and fruit as well as hints of caramel and hops. Smooth, fizzy texture leaves behind a fruity finish.

Appearance has an amber red color supporting a dissipating cream head and spotty lace. Smell has a sweet citric malt aroma with light floral hop. Taste again with the sweet malt married with a nice balance of hops. Mouthfeel having a medium viscous feel with good carbonation. Overall a very nice NW red.

A real nice blend of caramel, flowers and grass. This is a wonderful beer.

Bottle. "Tall Cans in the Air, let me see ’em ... fuck you!". Must be a hoppy red for that to pop into mind while I was sipping this. Looks red with a good head and nice lace. Was going to say "How much hops can you add before you have an IPA not a red?" But it is classified as an AIPA already. Nice malty backbone and hops in the nose. Big malt profiel and a fishy woody hop flavour that makes me think PUNK.

On tap at The Alibi Room in Gastown. Little head, but a beautiful reddish amber color. Nose is citrus. The flavor? A big load of citrus hops up front, with a bit of malt detected on the finish. Except for the color, this is very reminiscent of the newer, highly hopped IPAs. This is a winner, folks!

From the can, earthy and malty with some nice hops in the flavor. Nice flavor profile. Tasty!

On tap at Tim’s House and then again at Tim’s House, then Tim’s house again and then, yes, Tim got this beer one last time. I’m not a huge Red fan, but this beer is the best example of the style I’ve found... Killians need not apply.

A: Deep amber body. Slightly cloudy. Large fluffy off-white head. Good retention and tons of lacing.
S: Grapefruit, resinous pine, and sweet caramel malts.
T: Very much like the nose. Highly hopped up with grapefruit, orange, and pine. Plenty of malt shines through giving a nice balance from the caramel and lightly bready backbone.
M: Smooth, medium bodied. Resinous finish with moderate bitterness.
O: A very nice hoppy red. Its not Nugget Nectar, but you shouldn’t hold that against it.
