tap at Stone Bistro - Pours really red with an ample, lasting head. It smells of roast caramel malt and some light citrus hops. It’s easy to drink and though I detect some alcohol presence, I wouldn’t have thought it was over 10%. Medium bodied and with a rich caramel malt, mildly hopped taste, it’s enjoyable.

on tap-pours a rich to patchy light brown head that laces and mahogany color. Aroma is cascade-citrus grapefruit, sweet hops, secondary medium malt-chocolate. Taste is potent cascade-citrus grapefruit, sweet hops, secondary medium malt-chocolate, alcohol. Seems unbalanced for first third, then gets better balance. Maybe the 10% alcohol? An imperial red or American Strong Ale. Good carbonation. Sipping. At end… 3.7
