Big Red Mitch is a wicked hoppy draft-only imperial red lager. It’s brewed with simcoe, amarillo, centennial and idaho-7 hops, designed to make you sit up and take notice. It’s named after one of our favorite salesmen, who may have grown out of his red hair… But he’ll always be a ginger to us!

Draught at Tip Tap Room, 3/4/16.
Good clarity throughout this deep copper-auburn colored beer with some dark mahogany tints. Off-white head atop is large and slowly recedes to cover, showing moderate retention.
Spicy, fruity (apples, cherries, melon) and lightly herbal hops seem well-matched to the lightly toasty, moderately cookie and caramel-like malt notes. Light pine and strong floral character emerges more with warming. No alcohol or flaws.
Lightly sweet caramel dries out due to a big dose of toasted malt. Almost a hint of chocolate even, with light buttercream and honey on the finish. Well-malted and nicely attenuated, with a fairly minimal textural impact from the crystal malts, leaving only a touch of hardness. A bit toasty and heavily peppery (hops) on the end, with plentiful bitterness and tons of fruit character from the hops as well. Quite drinkable but very assertive (as intended).
