Aug 8, 2007 draft at volo in toronto shared with radek. (thanks man) this brew has a mixed aroma of hops and malt, very chewy for a red ale. this imperial red ale represents everything american brew is about: (ok, maybe not everything...) a lot more of ingredients in everything to pump the style into something ’imperial’.

Jul 19, 2007 Poured a deep red amber hue with a thick white head, some retention. Aroma was very hoppy with a slight caramel note too it. I did not notice any spice notes in the aroma as the description mentions. The flavor was a little sweeter then the aroma indicated, but was smoothly balanced out but the hops in the finish. I really wished there was a little more hops in the finish.

Jul 8, 2007 22oz bottle-pours a big red foamy off white head and copper color. Aroma is nice citrus hops-lemon/grapefruit, faint medium malt. Taste is very floral also spicy/earthy hops, secondary medium malt. Taste is 90 degree turn from aroma. Also while it can be called an imperial red, seems like some crossover with European IPA.

Jul 4, 2007 22oz from markgugs - thanks, Mark! I was expecting something rich and heavily malty, with the creamy and almost wee heavy-ish qualities. Instead, this is a lively and quite dry red with a flavorful hop profile and a bit of spice to back it up. Very smooth, very drinkable, and a nice minor variation on the style.
