An Imperial Red IPA made with caramel rye malt and many other exotic malts. Made with very generous quantities of Summit and Newport hops, this beer is quite a balanced treat. Our brewers decided they wanted more out of an IPA so they used a Belgian yeast strain giving it a wonderful Belgian like aroma.

Tasty imperial IPA, with not just a strong bitter hoppiness, but also some smooth Belgian yeast.

12 oz bottle. A darker amber pour with a small white head. Kind of a citrusy caramel malt aroma. Similar flavor, caramel citrus, malty toastiness. Kind of a limp palate. This bottle was too expensive though; they bottle so infrequently that the name can get me to spend a lot more on bottles than I otherwise might. It’s often worth it in the case of their meads and the rally special beers, but this just isn’t one of those.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013. A blurry red - golden one with a small bubbly and light sidesticking beige top. Nice fresh aroma, lots of peaches and tropical fruits, some dry woody thing as well. Tastes nice, a bit wild forest like. Some pinewoods and peaches. Lots of sweetness also here. Well balanced and harmonic. So harmonic that I'm starting to feel a little bit comfortable here in this big hall along here with all these strangely loud people. 04.05.2013
