Commercial Description:
Resinous hop character and bitterness balance the rich caramel malt base. We took it a step further and Amarillo dry hopped the brew to 45 IBUs, creating refreshing and savory hop flavors and aromas. Is it Red IPA? That's your call.

Bottle. Pours red/amber with a nice beige head. Aroma is floral, with pine resin, grass and caramel. Medium body. Well balanced falvor with grassy, floral and perfumy notes accompanied by a nice solid caramel note. Finishes with a nice lingering bitterness.

Poured a nice reddish amber color with a white head. Aroma was nice and hoppy, mainly floral notes. Flavor was a bit bitter and grassy with a nice citrusy flavor. Good overall beer. Excellent for the style.

On tap. I am surprised that this is an amber and not an IPA., because the hops are front and center in this brew. Fresh, grassy hops, with grapefruit and pine flavors, mostly dry and with a touch of sweat.

Nice red amber color with a small head. Aroma of pine and citrus. Flavor is the same with a fantastic hop bite. Extremely dry finish. Excellent.

It has a great Amber color to it and nice off white head. It has an amazingly bitter smell. Spicy, hoppy,very inviting. The taste is wow! To say its bitter is an understatement.it has a spicy, bitter, and just ridiculously hoppy taste.

Pours a beautiful red with a fluffy tan head. I’d take a nap on it. Beautiful aromas coming from the Amarillo hops; also a whiff of caramel. Tastes magnificent. A burst of hops, some spicy sweetness, and some more hops. Very drinkable but some how packs a punch at 6%. Of note, more flavorful and lively on tap.
