tap at Fort Wayne location - Pours amber with a one finger head. It smells of caramel malt and hops. The flavor is pretty aggressively hopped with sweet caramel malt balancing it. There's some minimal alcohol taste noticeable. I wouldn't call it great but this is a very solid brew.

Just called Imperial Red at the Chandler location a few months back. It pours with a nearly clear deep copper body with thin gold edges and supporting a thin off white head that leaves some spotty sheet lacing behind. The aroma is malty and a little nutty and also some pine like hoppiness. The taste has up front bitterness and is a mix of pine hop bitterness and roasted malt astringency with a dash of citrus hoppiness. Into the finish, in addition to the other notes, I pick up some floral hops. Decent enough.

On tap at Willowbrook. Pours a cloudy amber with small off white head that lasts awhile. The aroma is floral hop and pine. Medium mouthfeel with light hop flavor and bready malt. A good American strong ale from BJs.
