4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours dark amber with a large khaki head. Smells of hints of caramel and citrus. Taste is bitter with some malt sweetness. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and soft mouth-carbonation, Real Ale Brewers’ Cut Imperial Red Ale finishes with a sweet twinge.

Great, but BIG beer with a crisp, dry finish. Complex, caramel malt. Not cloying or sugary. Intense yet smooth hop flavor puts it right up my alley. Extremely drinkable. Super easy on the palate with just enough mouthfeel to leave you sated but not overburdened.

This is a pretty big beer. Pours cloudy, reddish with a totally retained tan colored head. Aroma is rich caramel with big citrus notes as well. Flavor is both BIG malt and BIG hops. Tasty effort from the guys in Blanco!

A hazy amber beer. Pours with a short, but lasting beige head. The aroma is stone, lichen, mineral, and a standalone bitterness. The flavor had notes of bitterness from some particular hop variety and that’s it. It leaves some intricate lace. Its just pretty good overall.

Guessing that I rather enjoyed this since I stopped myself from drinking the fourth bottle after making three disapper. I know Tim rather liked his previous creation (the Black Quad - and it was good) but this is much more my style. Not extremely over the top or hop bombalicious but well rounded (to me - oh ye, I am the one rating) so go ahead and ignore my rambling and try it.

Pours a dark amber with a touch of red in glass. Strong citrus and ganja aroma followed by a funky cheese note. Flavors of sweet citrus and spice
Overall, tasty and complex... Thanks to BarZigKin for sharing!

Clear red copper pour with an off white head. Nice lacing. Nice citrusy aroma with caramel and little bread. Taste is full of citrus zest. Malty backbone balances out the really nice bitterness. Dry finish. A little sticky on the palate. Good stuff.

Nice looking brew. Red and clear with a good lasting head and pretty good lacing too.
The nose is super hops with a side of hops. Lots of pine, citrus, lemon peel. Faint biscuit malt and caramel.
Flavor is nice, lots of hops come forth right away. Citrus, lemon peel, grapefruit peel, pine, along with a more pronounced and somewhat balancing malt character.
Body is a bit slick, pretty full, and finishes bitter from the hops.
I like this one, it’s damn tasty. Another success from Real Ale.

12 ounce bottle form Whole Foods Austin. Big hoppy presence. Caramel throughout. The Cascade comes through on this one.

This is definitely a red ale, boasting a bright, deep, dark red color that’s really sexy. It has an off-white head and really nice lacing that actually resembles lace. The nose is also great, and smells just like a microbrewery, with fresh grain dominating and a slight, highly caramelized malt dominating. Hops aren’t immediately noticeable in the aroma, but some alcohol is. The flavor is a nice balance of thick, but thinly syrupped thanks to the alcohol - and residual sugars are low, but dark. This all ends in a softly bitter finish that still echoes a fresh grain flavor. This is so much better in a glass it’s not even funny.
