This beer is intended to be a sensory assault for hop lovers. With four hop additions during the brew process and a final wallop of excessive Columbus dry-hopping, this beer is meant to say one thing: MORE HOPS! It was was born at the crossroads, in a juke joint, as if Dale’s Pale Ale sold its soul to balance Deviant’s foreboding aromas of citrus, grapefruit rind and piney resins with a copper ball-of-fire color and inscrutable finish.

Pour is a dark orange with a large white head. Aroma is a nice pungent hop with an equally nice sticky malt backbone. Flavor is more of a nice fresh hop with a chewy caramel malt bringing things up. This is a solid but heavier mouthfeel than usual IPA.

Heavy smell of hops. Dark amber colour, high creamy beige head. Heavy aroma of hops, some licorice and oak, maybe some rum. Some hint of spices in the background. Very flat carbon, oily texture. Bitter of course, but also surprisingly sweet to it.

From can at Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Beautiful red, clear body, with a medium, creamy, white head. Aroma of pine needles, tropical fruits like passion fruit and mango, grapefruit, red berries, even slight roasted malt notes. Taste follows this seemlessly, with some more, black tea like malty notes. Mouthfeel is medium, slick, with a lively carbonation and it finishes bitter, piney and fruity. Wow, delicious! Propably the best Red IPA I’ve ever had! Amazing how the pine, tropical fruit and malt notes are balanced! High ABV, but very smooth to drink. Definitely worth the high ratings!

Tallboy Canned on 7-26-12. Lucky it’s been in the fridge for half that time. And luckily, it still has a strong citrusy hop smell as I pop the tab. Pours dark amber, almost brown, with haze from many floaty bits. Big head that fizzles away quickly. Brew is very malty, with alcohol felt rather than tasted. Columbus hops are up front. Leaves a bitter hop aftertaste, but that’s to be expected.
