Bottle. Poured a clear reddish color with a white head. Aroma was a nice strong hoppy aroma of pine, balanced with a lot of sweet malts. Flavor was quite hoppy, with a lot of bozzy sweet malt notes. Malty finish, with some resin.

This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a nice looking somewhat hazy to light transparent amber color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light lacing clinging in a nice foamy sort of way.
The smell had a nice blend of citrus sweet to piney coated caramel malts.
The taste was mainly sweet with a nice bitter underscore of piney hops. There was a light piney/caramel aftertaste leading into a dry piney finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was somewhat sharp but still good for the style.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Imperial Red that I would bang again.

Flaska från SB. Dofter av citrus, ananas, bränd karamell och tobak. Skön eldig munkänsla där alkoholen inte blir påträngande. Lång eftersmak.

Rødbrun klar med lavt beige skum. Lukter sitrus, humle og røde bær. Bittersøt smak av humle og bær, APA/IPA følelse. Fin bitter avslutning.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Mastikim. Clear copper-amber. Aroma of malt, caramel, toast, a cookie-ish note and piney and citric hops, slightly stale. Sweetish malty flavor with some caramel, toast, a biscuity touch, some decent hops, a bit citric and piney, and a moderately bitter finish. Medium-bodied.
