I guess this beer has been revived but is now an Imperial Red Ale clocking in at 7.5%. I got it on tap at Bungalow. A nice amber gold pour with a 1.5cm foamy off-white head which lingered & left behind great lacing. A caramel & citrus aroma. This full bodied beer is bready with caramel & biscuity malt notes, the hops take a backseat by just lending light citrus notes and a dry bitter finish. A really nice beer that doesn’t taste as strong as it is.

Bottle from Yamaoka. Aroma of green hops, caramel malt, a bit of skunk, grass. Pale amber color. Fruity, light caramel flavor, plus something chemical and pukey in there. Not clear what this is supposed to be about. Very weird and vegetal.
