Red-amber. Medium head. Aroma has a lot of bready malt and floral, citrusy hop. Bitter, slightly chewy malt. Good balance in this one. Tasty, good example.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear coppet with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is earth, pine, grapefruit. Medium mouth, bitter hop bite, grapefruit, lingering bitter finish, very good.

Dark amber color, clear. The aroma is not too strong, but it has a good balance of malt and fruity hops, cake. Lean body, good caramel flavor, with just light supporting sweetness; strong bitterness, mild hop resins, orange peel, light hemp.
Very good, classic within the style.

2015-01-07, draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver, 6-4-7-4-14=35
Dark amber color, creamy head. The caramel character is good, moderately sweet, lean, a bit malty too; powerful hopping with some resins and light fruity touch.
Solid beer, round, a good winter warmer.

On tap at St Augustine's, pours a hazy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out a good mix of caramel makes and resinous hops. Flavour is very well-balanced and quite robust, with big resinous hops showcasing upfront, with a big but not as forward caramel malt component. This is how an imperial red should be. Big n bold and wonderfully drinkable. Great one.
