Red Eye Serendipity

Brewed by Red Eye Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Wausau, Wisconsin USA

Serve in Snifter, Tulip

Dark amber with creamy white head. Hazy. A nice, bitter hoppy aroma with faint malts. A sweet body with a caramelish flavor to the malt, but overriding citrus hops.

Excellent beer. Wasn’t expecting all too much but from the get go I was very impressed by this one. Smells like canned peaches or canned mandarin oranges. Impressive lacing and head that WILL NOT go away. Taste isn’t overly hoppy but very sweet and citrusy. A great beer from a little known brewery.

On draught at the Red Eye brewpub near downtown Wausau, Wisconsin. Pours a semi-hazy dark golden amber brew with a thick off-white head that slowly dissipates to a cream top and excellent lacing. Aroma of citrus zest, grapefruit, peach, marzipan and a hint of caramel malt, Taste is medium to full bodied, with heavy red grapefruit an some caramel/munich dark malt flavors. Finish is smooth, semi-sweet. overly bitter with a citrus and a touch of caramel malt. A decent double IPA like the Red Eye Imperium except a touch or caramel malt. Definitely a tongue curler throughout without overpowering any caramel malt character.
