2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 edwardbass (662) - Illinois, USA - JAN 3, 2015
Reddish brown color with a really big tan head - that head is not a good sign; somethings not right with this can? Super carbonated. Pine and citrus rind hops bitterness and not much else, just a little bit of malt sweetness. The hops are astringent and bordering on unpleasant. Not terrible, but not good either. Based on other reviews, my experience is atypical.

This is killing me. I cant remember the name of the hop they use in this but you can taste it from a mile away. It has a strong dill flavor whatever it is and almost makes beer taste like it was aged in American oak. In anycase, this is a nice beer, esp. if you are a fan of this particular hop whatever it is. It is cloudy red w/ a creamy head and lots of lace. It has a nose of pine and citrus w/ lots of dill and a little vanilla. It is a touch sweet and malty w/ some toasted, nutty notes and a slight hint of roasty coffee in the background. This is very much a hop-centric beer though and it has a nice, creamy texture that compliments the hop used quite well. Seriously, if anyone knows what hops are in this, let me know. I think it might be Sorachi Ace.

Malty and piney start with a nice hoppy bite at the end. Spiteful never disappoints. Had a can pour at home. Pours deep red almost black with a thick cream head.

16 oz can. Pours a deep reddish color with a khaki head. Aroma of pine, hops, spicy red malts. Flavor is hoppy, spicy, with lots of sweet red malt notes. medium bodied, lively carbonation. Finishes long and hoppy. Pretty awesome hoppy red ale.
