568 ml royal pint can. Red pour, definite strawberry nose, flavor is well-balanced, citrusy, dank, some malt sweetness, really hope these guys start improving their beer quality. This is a step in the right direction.

Can. Pours... well I dont know what fucking color it is because its dark in my frontroom and all I can see is this screen. Feels foamy though when I drink it. So well just give it a 5 for effort. And effervescence (incidentally, what the fuck exactly would I write if were a blind rater? Real fuckin sensitive RateBeer is. Not!) Anyway, smells like tropical fruit (2 shitloads of it), Juicy Fruit gum, strawberries, fresh apricots, biscuity malt goodness, some soap.A lot drier than it smells and pretty much all the shit I just typed about the nose... yeah. Its on the palate too... which makes sense seeing as taste and smell are directly linked.Shout out to Corbin at Binnys out in Willowbrook, it was he who suggested this. Good call brother. Meanwhile, weve determined RateBeer hates the blind. There has to be an interest group in DC specific to this sort of persecution. We Shall overcome.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 hayduke (3925) - Eureka, California, USA - SEP 28, 2015
This was a sample at the GABF 2105 in Denver. In my tasting glass it was an amber orange with white foam. Nose of floral hops and fruit. Medium plus body and a very smooth mouth feel. Flavor is rich and almost decadent with nice caramel malts and a lot of interesting hops tastes as well. Finishes with nice bitterness. Very nice beer. I notice as I posted this review that this beer won a silver meal medal in the Double Red Ale category which makes more sense than the IPA class it is classified here.

On tap at the San Leandro location. It pours a deep golden/light copper color with an off white head. The aroma is syrupy with some pine, plum, toffee, raisin and malt syrup. Smells like an Imperial Red. The flavor is full bodied with big hop flavor and bitterness covered over by syrupy malts. Cherry, toffee and raisin stand out. Pine. Not a bad Imperial Red. Very syrupy and sweet with moderate piney bitterness to balance it just a bit. Ok.
