COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This red ale is hit with a 21 pound blend of cascade, centennial, and chinook hops in the whirlpool, which is where beer receives most of its flavor and aroma structure. No dry hop here, but still expect loads of awesome hop flavor complimenting the malty rich flavors of caramel malts.

A pretty standard, nondeScript red. I actually prefer the sir ryan. On the light end of medium bodied, slick mouthfeel, and moderately sweet. Tried at the brewery on the way to ASEH in 2015.

On tap at Wicked Weed. Pleasant light hoppy aroma with a hint of caramalt. Taste is surprisingly intense: smoky, c-hoppy, caramel, with a long smoky finish.

Keg @ Wicked Weed. Bee pour with a small head. Nose is strong caramel malt, cantaloupe, cotton candy and saltwater taffy. Taste is toasty malt, strawberry fruit leather. Pine wood bitter hops. Light body, soft carb.

Cooper pour with sweet, biscuit nose. Nice malt profile with decent hop bite. Good amber.

jbruner (3043) - Athens, Georgia, USA - JUL 29, 2014
Pours a deep copper on tap with fluffy off-white head. Aroma is a nice mix of biscuit, toasted malts, nuts, and piney hops. Taste is more malt forward, but you still get a nice hoppy back end. Nice for the style, but there are so many things better on their menu.

Draft to taster at Wicked Weed. Looks good; a transparent reddish orange with eggshell lacing. Smells and tastes hoppy and malty with some mild toastiness as well. Solid on the palate. Enjoyable.

One of my least favorite from Wicked Weed. I thought, given their track record, I would give the amber a try. But I should know better- just not my style. Pours a deep brownish red- little to no head. Taste is sort of a strange mix of overly sweet cereal malt and toffee with the hops not quite working to balance it out. Hops are there (54 IBU) just has a strange finish to me. Slick mouthfeel. Didn’t even finish my half pour. Not bad, just not indicative of what these brewers can do.
