Had on tap. Clear copper body, white ring. Smell is very malty, toasted caramel, rye bread, citrus hops. Taste is more hoppy than expected, malts are too sweet to round out for me, just a bunch of good parts but no great whole. Feel is caught in between a regular and imperial red ale, medium bodied.

On tap at the Ballast Point Tasting Room and Kitchen.
Clear dark red-brown with a vey nice beige head. A little spotty lacing
Feel: medium to medium-full body; smooth for style; Medium carbonation.
Smell: hmm. not as expected and a bit dank, but a clear hop presence.
Taste: lightly spicy, moderate-high hoppy; faint malt backbone.
O: interesting but not relatively strong among BP's offerings.
