330ml bottle. Quasi black colour with ruby glimmer and average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Sweet-ish, chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of toffee, dark caramel, dark chococlate, a touch of malt lozenge, some roast. Taste is slightly bitter, roasty dark malty, chocolately, some coffee, dark chocolate, a touch of burnt caramel. Rich and intense, especially for relatively light 4.9% abv; the light body is nevertheless perceivable, since all flavours seem to float like an aerostat, no "road contact" somehow.

Thankfully not an amber ale, but a red IPA. Lot of complexity here. I can detect about 10 dif. things. Renaissance has so many good IPAs!

Thin bubbly beige head stayed on a reddish brown still body. Minimal malty aroma. Thick & cloying. Minimal carbonation. Malty tastes with dark berries, caramel & faintly hoppy on the aft. Very similar to a standard English IPA.
