Our Red IPA is a symphony of complex earthy malts and fresh, forward hops that the play the lead in this ensemble. The resulting performance is a seamless combination of fruits and caramel, complimented by the distinctively fresh pine tones. Rich caramel notes are complimented by a silky, hop-driven mouthfeel and soft carbonation. The nose is dominated American, fruit-forward hop notes, with an underlying continuation of the caramel-type malt tones found on the palate.

0.33 l can, 6.8% ABV version. Pours deep red, almost brown with persistent off-white head. Nose is herbs, caramel and malts. The taste is bittersweet, the caramel-y/malty touch gives the sweetness and it has a herb-y, moderately resinous hoppy character to it too. Closes with short earthy bitter finish, has light, creamy body and soft to average carbonation. Not bad by far, but somehow not round enough.

0.33l bottle. Dark copper body with a lasting beige head. Aroma and taste of caramel, rye, orange zest, pine and some biscuit. Like a mixture of a British brown ale and an IPA. Nice one.

I'm a little bit puzzled, since this version is indicated as retired beer with a new version brewed since 2015, so there is a newer version, but that one has some 4% ABV only and my current beer has 6.8 - this is why I've decided to rate this one; opalescent dark amber to mahogany colour, moderate sized yellowish-bright beige-ish head; aroma of dried berries, prune, toasted rye bread and biscuit notes, as well as some resiny and citrusy-grapefruity notes; taste has both IPA and burnt bittery character with the same notes as can be felt in the aroma; correct one!
