Can dated 10/22/19 from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma has a lot of resin. And some roasty malt. Approaching full bodied. This is an Imperial Red Ale - so I question whether it should be styled DIPA. However, the flavor lacks the nasty chocolate aspect often occurring in amber ales (IMHO). So the flavor is arguably that of a very malty DIPA. It is strongly hopped - resin and citrus, and perhaps grapefruit zest notes. Bitter enough to keep the malt way down. Very nicely done.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 15, 2019. Aroma is a balanced mix of hops and malt. Moderate cracker malt, biscuit and toasted bread. Medium hop notes of grapefruit, pine, resin and woodsy notes. Hints of alcohol spice. Pours a slightly hazy, brownish red with a medium sized, thick, slightly tan head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderate malt notes of cracker, biscuit and toasted bread. Fairly strong, assertive bitterness with light alcohol spice. Moderate grapefruit, pine, resin and woodsy, earthy dank notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a better hoppy red than I was expecting, but it's definitely not my preferred style. The hop profile isn't fruity, but I think that is what makes it work with this darker malt profile.
