Pretty much what to expect for a straightforward red IPA a little bit of roast toffee and hops in this case resiny. Flavors are similar to nose, Fairly dry and bitter with slight sweet. Long perhaps too bitter finish.

Full growler. I saw this reviewed well somewhere before trying it, and that review said it was the best Oktoberfest in Minnesota. They are not far off. Nice, amber color. Good carbonation. Dry malt aroma, light noble hops here. Flavor is malt, lightly sweet, fresh bread, earthy. Rich palate for the style. They really nailed the style. No experimentation with a style that should be preserved the way it is.
