RIPA approaches with a haunting red glare and monstrous Northwest Pacific hop profile. Chew through the rich toasted malts to encounter a bone dry hop bite and a sooth warm finish. Drink again soon or may you RIP.

On tap at Carson's, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of resinous hop upfront, followed by caramel bready malt. Flavour is robust, with loads of resinous hops, some pine and caramel bready malt. Wonderfully balanced. Such sticky resins backed by a nice caramel backbone. Excellent stuff.

tap. better than expected. Many other RIPA’s have been too mild, or not hoppy enough. This is more of a red tinted IPA. Loved it

12 oz. bottle from Binny’s single beer racks. A new brewer to our area from way down the pointy end of Indiana. A little "steam" when I pop the cap, and a nice nose of both hop and malt. Dark brown pour in the Scotch ale color range. Smell from the glass is a lightly hopped pale ale, again with some hearty malt behind it. Taste starts off with loud resiny hops, very bitter but somehow pleasant. This may be because my pour has lots of prickly bubbles to really deliver the bitterness. Despite the big malt bill, it still fades back once the hops assert themselves, making themselves known only by the stickiness on my lips. So, yeah. I’m rather pleased to have picked this to try.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home watching one of the last Bears games of the year after a decent work day. Appearance is a bright ruby red with a thin white head. Aroma is a nice hop profile, light spice and caramel. Taste is pretty good, goes down with a nice bitterness, for malty than hoppy, moderate carbonation, overall enjoyable.

Pour is a reddish brown with a average white head. Aroma is a decent helping of caramel malts follow by a decent oily hop. Flavor is pretty much the same. Heavy caramel sweet malt with a decent malty backbone. Finish is a bit sweet but this is a decent beer with lots of heavy malt but it also includes a decent hop. Reminds me of some Rogue beers.

bottle - Pours amber orange with a dense one finger, light tan head. It smells of caramel malt and resinous hops. The flavor has ample bitterness, toasted malt, and resin and citrus hops. Pretty good.

Bottle: Pours almost clear red-amber with a tight tan head. Strong berry malt aroma. Taste is sweet fruit, berry... Light and sweet with a steady floral hop bitter. Nice, easy drinker.
