This is a classic West Coast-style imperial red ale brewed with medium crystal malts, centennial and cascade hops.

The color is a burnt amber with red highlights and the aroma has a spicy hop presence with moderate caramel malt accents.

The taste is a smooth, malty one with a balanced hoppy finish that includes hints of sweet caramel

Bombaer from BevMo Salinas. Nose is hoppy citrus and caramel. Lightly hazy rust with a medium tan head that laces lightly. Flavor is bitter with hints of caramel and sweetness. Not super complex but quite drinable.

Bottle@Beer Temple, Amsterdam, shared with Slothez. Interesting looking colour - a very dense reddy brown , with a smallish lingering tan head. Aroma had promise, ja for sure, a big hit of sweet malt and plenty of resin (oh yes) drenched hop. Flavour had the same themes with quite a booze hit in there. Decent body. Felt good slipping down. Sweetish and very hoppy. Lingering dry bitter finish. Niiiiice.

16th May 2008. Deep red-brown ale. Hops dominant from the start to the finish. There is a malt counterattack but it’s quite week! Finishes slightly bitter.

Hazy light brown body with a tall, lasting, light tan head. Fruity malt aroma with lots of caramel. There’s a firm hop bitterness that doesn’t show up in the aroma. The flavor is almost too bitter. Full bodied, smooth.

Bottle that I think I got from Phil L’s online beer shop (momentarily forgotten name) this was in a double box order shared with Craig and consumed at a field at Cropredy Festival, Oxon 14-08-09 Pours reddish with a beige head. Taste is hoppy, really quite bitter, long bitter finish, burnt sugar, bit too sweet at times, but otherwise nice stuff. A6 A4 F7 P3 Ov14 3.4
