Draft @ brewpub. Hazy cherry red. Scattered lacing. Big aroma smells almost like a rye beer. Has berry fruit esters. Clean and finishes dry in spite of being so chewy it’s clean and not sweet. Woody malts and toasty finish. Boozy but good.

Deep amber with frothy tan head and lace. Citrus hops, sweet caramel malt. Deep toasted malt, nice resin/citrus bitter. Medium full bodied with good carbonation. A very special beer.

on tap-pours a tan head that laces and copper color. Aroma is cascade (resin/herbal), secondary medium malt-caramel. Taste is cascade hops with slight bite, resin/herbal/peat/raisin/touch of cocoa. OK carbonation.

tap at the Santa Fe Taphouse-pours "red" as it should be done with a small fizzy off-white head. big piney nose-hop cones, grapefruit and pine. big piney hops on the flavors as well with a very firm sweet malt base. very well balanced! Really tastes like an Amber IIPA if you ask me-all the hops are there but with a firm malt base. a very tasty beer that i wish they brewed year around . very dry finish with lingering sweetness. a great ASA that i would drink alot of if it were regularly available!!

Slightly cloudy amber color and medium head. First sip surprised with a lot more hops than I expected. The very floral nose should have clued me in. Once my palate adjusted, the malt backbone showed through in a rounded palate with a slightly sweet, clean finish. Nice balance and really enjoyable beer. I’m not a red fan generally, but this is a good beer.

650ml bottle from Dak. Thanks. Pours a deep dark red-brown color with a medium beige head that has good retention. The aroma is strong with piney biter hops. The flavor is robust with citrus, oranges, piney biter hops, resins, walnuts, caramel malts and rye. The palate is full and smooth with lively carbonation. The finish is long dry and biter. Overall: Very tasty hoppy red ale--compares favorably to Green Flash Hop Head Red.

Pours slightly darker with an increased syrupyness then the original red. Aroma is hoppier and taste is sweety decent ale.

bottle courtesy of gabrielm, thanks a ton buddy! good stuff, deep red pour with a nice head, nice hop aroma and taste. good bitterness and flavor, super hoppy red ale here! soapy, slightly astringent, but damn good when fresh!

22oz. pours a mahogany red with a thin head. aroma is pine and resiny with a hint of citrus. mouthful is a big hoppy mess in a good way. has a nice touch of cocoa hidden in the finish. what a huge red hoppy bomb. love the goods from this ABQ gem.
