COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This year’s Ales for ALS beer is an Imperial Red Ale made with the experimental hops from our favorite hop yard, Loftus Ranch. The Smiths, owners of Loftus Ranch, donated the hops for this beer and in turn, we will donate $1 of every pint sold to ALS research. The beer displays an intense battle between rich, caramely, biscuity malts, and intensely aromatic and bitter American hops. The aromas run the gamut. At once both spicy and floral as well as intensely piney. What starts as a silky smooth and rich malty body quickly gives way to a rush of bitterness. The finish is malty but dry and heady.

Tap@Brewery: Pours rusty-nail with a quickly dissipating head. The brewery’s deScription says: "The beer displays an intense battle between rich, caramely, biscuity malts, and intensely aromatic and bitter American hops." I would say that the caramely malt wins the battle. Overall, this is for the malt lovers of big alcohol flavor.

Tap at brewpub pours lite copper hue with a soapy eggshell head and sparse lacing. Nose is big piney hops lots of caramel malts toasted. Very much a balance between hops and malt. Bright citrus and florAl notes dominate witb an awesome toasted amber malt base. This is so balanced! Long bitter grapefruit finish with lingering toasted grains.This is fantastic! Another winner from Jeff and CO
