Plenty of crystal malts give the beer its red hue and toffee and caramel flavour. We then hop it with some big hitters; Simcoe, Amarillo, Centennial, Columbus, and Chinook for solid bitterness and aromas of orange peel and grapefruit. A little piney and dank too, beaut!
GREAT TREE, speak to me.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a beige head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of fig and caramel. Flavour of blood orange, toffee and rust. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A bittersweet beauty of an IPA. Loved this.

Can at BeerHeadz Lincoln. Number 12,000 (on RateBeer). But that will change. Deep amber colour with an off white head. Malty caramel and sweet to bittersweet. Tangy marmalade and bitter to finish. Full body.

Can ordered from Elusive. Aroma is resinous and fruity. I can see why it was added as a Red IPA, it's a an opaque toffee brown. Thick fluffy off-white head. Medium bitter. Pine/resinous. Followed by a hint of caramelised fruit. Develops a sour almost vinous edge. Light-medium bodied. Slick verging on creamy. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Doesn't overdo the bitterness a relaxed West IPA that admittedly also has a Red IPA gene in there.
