2014 release six pack picked up, must be pretty fresh, date on bottle says 5/2/14, guessing this means drink it by then.. served around 35-40 degrees in the Dogfish/Sierra Nevada IPA glass.
A: Perfect, what an excellent red ale color this has, some decent carbonation, perfect red hint to it. poured with a finger of head that dissipates to a thin layer of head that completely covers the entire surface, which is awesome. lacing isn't huge but there are some long lacing legs up the glass.
S: Smell isn't what you want to judge this beer by, idk if it is just me but it smells almost like a rye IPA, it has a bread/red/rye smell that isn't the best smelling beer ever but either way it's not terrible.
T: Awesome, very fresh, has a big amber ale/red ale taste but you also get the punch of the fruity hops that Odell seems to have mastered. Very refreshing beer, and at 6.5% this is very session-able. I seem to be picking up a bit of bready taste as well as some rye. I don't even know if this beer is made with rye but there is a small bit of the rye characteristics with it.
M: Decently carbonated, feels light yet filling, I could drink a 6 pack in the summer on a hot day even though this is a Winter Seasonal. Very refreshing, great beer, would love to have on draft.
O: Pick this up if you see it, if you are lucky enough pick up their Winter'Spring Montage 12 pack that has this along with their latest Roots Release which for 2014 is a Pale Ale named "Wolf Picker" I believe.. if you can catch this beer on draft than of course give it a shot.
Summary: Best red IPA I have ever had, only one I can compare it to is the Elysian Valhalla Red, Odell is an excellent brewery and they seem to have mastered the fruity, juicy, fresh hops, their IPA is in my top 5 and their DIPA as well. What a great refreshing seasonal. Keep it up Odell!
Update: This beer gets better with every sip, find it and try it, it is amazing.

"Best enjoyed by 5/9/17"; drank 3/12/17 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque ruby red appearance.
A rough pour yielded a huge khaki head; frothy tree-rung lace.
Baking soda, caramel & mild grapefruit notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Mild grapefruit & caramel flavors up front; dry baking soda notes on the finish.
Inoffensive & drinkable in a pinch, but I'll certainly never yearn for another one.

Poured from 12oz can into glass. Stamped canning date is '04/07/17'.
Slightly hazy, dark copper colored body, billowing off white head, good coverage of lacing.
Citrus and pine aroma.
Taste follows aroma, with a bitter bite. Good malt base.
Medium mouth feel, slightly sticky.
A very good red IPA, beautiful appearance.

Pours a cinnamon gold in color with a thick head and hearty lacing. This beer looks awesome in color. Smells of malty hops and some pine. Tastes exceptional, I was taken back how good it was. Very nice malty sweetness with a good hit of hops, dryness, and light citrus. A thick beer with a medium feel, this is a a great IPA, very happy with this one!!

Creamy lasting head.
Aroma is nice but not prominent.
Definitely malty, but hoppy bitterness finish.
Medium carbonation.
Nice hoppy beer for a cool spring day.

This beer pours a clear red amber with a solid head. The aroma is very pungent, with grapefruit, mango, papaya, guava, and pine. The flavor features lots of grapefruit pith, pine, papaya, slight malt sweetness, and pronounce bitterness. The mouthfeel is full bodied with rich, foamy carbonation. Overall this is a truly delicious red ale, with great malt and hop tension.
