This is really good because it is so smooth for an imperial red. Aroma is piney smooth hops with light sweetness. Pours amber with a big creamy sandy head and great lacing. Flavor and body again are super smooth with buttering hops that please and settle well on the palate.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 BillKismet (3562) - Seattle, Washington, USA - OCT 17, 2013
Deep red brown body topped with an appealing beige head. Easy-going roasty amber malting with moderate PNW hoppiness in the nose that continues into the body. Strong, but fairly well-ballanced and true to style--an amped up red ale.

Tap, taproom, backlog. Pours a dark ruby amber body with a small fizzy off-white head. The nose is actually pretty light compared to what I was expecting. Some toasted and grainy malt with light to moderate citrusy and floral hops. The flavor is well balanced as far as sweet-bitter goes, but not a whole lot beyond tons of toasted malt going on. There must be a lot of malt in here, but it doesnt do anything exciting. Light to moderate resiny hops that linger a bit on the finish. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with some lingering resin. Fine and slightly fizzy carbonation. This one doesnt do anything much for me.

Best red Ive had in a while. Thick toasty head off tap, hops upfront that linger throughout. Deep, dark red - so dark its almost opaque.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Thorpe429 (5016) - , Illinois, USA - APR 24, 2011
Bottle consumed at a recent DC area tasting. Served in a SAVOR snifter.
Pours a moderate amber-brown color with a really thin off-white head and no lacing as it goes down. The nose is a bit strange. There are some good hoppy notes there as well as some bready malt; however, theres a strange offness to the back-end of the profile, reminding me a bit of clothes that have been left in the washer for too long. This continues in the flavor, which does have the components of a nice beer with some good American hops, but the off flavor really kills things. Same goes for the mouthfeel, which is saved by some bitterness. Not a big fan, though Id certainly try this again to see if it was a problem with this bottle/batch, as I have enjoyed everything else from Spring House in the past.
