merlin48 (354), New Tazewell, Tennessee, USA Aug 18, 2008 Draft sample. Really liked this one. Amber body with a respectable beige head. Malty caramel balanced with citrusy and pine hops. Not really an imperial red but a solid pale ale that is fun to drink. Well done. Acknud (611), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Aug 18, 2008 Nice IPA. Definite hops on the nose. Taste is nicely balanced between sweet and bitter. Easily quaffable and could probably hurt you quickly as it is so drinkable! cdeaton (66), Madison, Indiana, USA May 29, 2008 Robust Imperial Red with very solid balance. Unique -- would’ve expected it to be more earthy, but plenty hoppy and plenty enough body for me. I love the hybrid yeasts these guys use. allfreej (295), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Apr 11, 2008 On tap at New Albanian. Amber pour with a nice tan head. Nose was malty. Flavor was sweet malt, not much hop bite in the finish. I don’t think I’d have classified this as an IPA. The brewer’s label of "Imperial Red Ale" seems more on the mark. Not hoppy enough for an IPA. mnurda (354), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Feb 19, 2008 On Tap at Rich O’s I am a huge fan of hops and carbonation, so this was right up my alley.
