cdeaton (66), Madison, Indiana, USA May 29, 2008 Robust Imperial Red with very solid balance. Unique -- would’ve expected it to be more earthy, but plenty hoppy and plenty enough body for me. I love the hybrid yeasts these guys use. allfreej (265), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Apr 11, 2008 On tap at New Albanian. Amber pour with a nice tan head. Nose was malty. Flavor was sweet malt, not much hop bite in the finish. I don’t think I’d have classified this as an IPA. The brewer’s label of "Imperial Red Ale" seems more on the mark. Not hoppy enough for an IPA. mnurda (342), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Feb 19, 2008 On Tap at Rich O’s I am a huge fan of hops and carbonation, so this was right up my alley. kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 04/26/2007

clear amber, scant beige head, light sweet caramel malt aroma with light floral hops, thin body, hot caramel malt flavor, mostly dry with some earthy hops balancing the alcohol, long bitter finish, the bitterness and the thin body is not a good combo, needs either more body or less betterness,

TheBeerOrg (1371), Kentucky, USA Aug 11, 2007 Pours cloudy amber with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of piney dry hopped cascaes, evergreen and grapefruit. Taste is hoppy, piney, and citric with a malt backbone. Mouthfee is full bodied, resinous with lively carbonation. Certainly enjoyable.
