Commercial Description:
Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head. Brewed with four varieties of Belgian caramel malts imparting a sweet richness. Reds Rye is impressively balanced with its hop bitterness and floral bouquet achieved from the dry hop. In the finish, the generous amount of malted rye used accentuates a spicy crisp finish.

Teh Our is a beautiful red, inviting. The Aroma of the hops comes through to the taste. Strong hops. Actually, this grew on me more in the second half of my glass. Good but not great...

12 oz bottle-pours a light tan head and copper color. Aroma is citrus/pine, mediu/dark malt-molasses. Taste is dry citrus hops, sweet medium/dark malt-molasses, roasty. OK carbonation. Nice (ASA).

2008-08-16. Murky caramel brown body, modest creamy beige head. (3+) Nice hoppy aroma, modest resin and a good dose of citrus seeds. (7+) Similar flavour, pithy citrus bitterness, mild resin, light grainy undertones. (7+) Smooth average plus to medium bodied palate. (3+) Solid. Bottle, Coles IPA Festival, Buffalo

bottle- disappointing tea like taste and mouthfeel. not the spice I was looking for. Hops not present. Oxidized. Perhaps this was a older bottle, so I would try it again, but very unimpressed.

Pours with a light brown, creamy head covering a clear red body with some particles. Grat lacing. Aroma of malts, currants, some caramel and rye. Taste is sweet and malty with a nice hop bite. Tastes like an imperial red but with less alcohol. Lively bubbles. Great beer.

On tap at Founders. A great red colour with a lasting off-white head. Strong rye kick with bitter hoppy followup. A great beer.
