4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 maltman53 (435) - Corrales, New Mexico, USA - SEP 16, 2014
Tap@Brewery: Pour more reddish than amber. Some American Amber/Red ales have a malt -forward aroma and flavor, while others have a balanced malt and ho profile. This one exhibits the hoppy side of the balance. Overall, a great expression of the hoppier side at 80 IBUs.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Terminus (3382) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - SEP 15, 2014
Tap at the brewpub September 2014
Pours deep orange hue almost red and has a nice soapy sudsy eggshell head with big bubbles. Nose exhibits the big hop but has a very big toasted cracker like malt base, very lite husky notes and full on C hops. Flavors are as balanced as the aroma would suggest-nice firm malt base and big citrus hops. The malt sweetness balances very well with the big hops here. This would rival the big breweries hoppy reds any day! Again the palate is crisp and somewhat light for the abv. nice brew!
