Can from Whole Foods Wine and Spirits in Boulder, 11/23/15. As Green Monstah Organic Imperial Red Ale (10% ABV, 40 IBU). It pours a clear orange color with a thin off white head and mild lacing. The aroma is full of dark fruit (raisin, date, etc.) and toffee. Not much hop on the aroma at all. In the flavor the hops come in a bit too balance put the heavy dark fruit and toffee malt flavors. Still more of a malt forward offering, but there's a good bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with a bit of stickiness. Fairly soft carbonation. Hides the 10% really well. This is a really interesting beer. I can't think of any other American beers that have a flavor profile quite like this one. It sort of reminds me of a hoppy Dubbel or something. Hard to totally describe, but I'm glad to have tried it.

Sample at GABF 10/03/2014, thanks to my sis for assistance with note-taking. Clear brown color with a medium thin beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lace. Aroma of roast malt and chocolate. Light-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, cocoa and slight coffee. The finish is sweet with a roasty malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. Pours a hazy golden orange appearance with an off white head. The aroma was a bit dull - some citrus, honey, light grapes. Surprisingly enough, the flavor wasn’t all that bad. Light tartness. Reasonable sweetness. A hint of red fruit. Honey and vanilla. A touch vinous. Surprisingly not as bad as I expected.

On tap at GABF 2012. Pours a cloudy orange color with a medium white head. A smooth grainy nose with some light oranges. A light flavor of grain, wheat, lemons, very light and unremarkable. Decent.

Tap at Freshcraft Denver - 03/06/12. Copper amber colour with a medium white head. Floral hops on the nose and a little malt, not a huge aroma. Light malt flavour, some citrus, hops - as per the nose a little on the bland side but not unpleasant. Medium bodied, a little watery, average, drinkable but forgettable !

Tap @ Avery SourFest III. Golden orange appearance with a white head. Pear, rich tart apple, lemon aroma. A bit earthy, rotten apple core, apple skin, shitty dull hoppy flavor. This mofo actually tasted like apples but not in a good way.
