Received as an extra in a trade and poured into my Duvel tulip.
A - Pours a nice crystal clear garnet ruby hue with a thin half finger light tan head that fades to leave thin wisps and a faint halo.
S - Aromas are much more of a red IPA than anything. Older hops, faint grapefruit and pine. Light malt sweetness.
T - Taste is lightly sweet, caramel, tea like hops, faint grapefruit and even fainter tropical fruits. Alcohol is present on the pallet, slightly, but yeah...doesnt really taste like a strong ale. More like a hoppy red ale
M - Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated with a nice bitter finish. Feels slightly thin though...
O - Overall I'm not sure what to make of this. Its tasty, but, if the other reviewer was correct this is meant to be drank incredibly fresh which really disappoints me. I want a mango heavy 'strong ale', if the beer was labeled as a hoppy beer I would have drank it sooner, I'm kind of bitter now.

On tap at the source.
A - Garnet / chestnut colored pour with very dense, crealy lacing that sticks to the sides of the glass.
S - Sweet caramel malt aroma with some faint candy citrus.
T - Rich sweet malt base with some resiny citrus sitting underneath and finishes on the sweeter side.
M - Big and viscous on the texture that's silky smooth and finishes wet but eventually dries the back of the tongue out.
O - Wasn't sold on this beer at first but really starting to dig it. Nicely done.

Medium dark auburn, with a bit of chestnut overtones, for the look. Funny, off-spiced, fruit punch note to the medium dark roast malt aroma, with a bit of caramel. A slight bite with a tare tinge and a touch sweet, with a caramel note, for the taste.

Canned on 7/9/20. 12oz can poured into a tulip. Pours a glowing amber with subtle clarity; big fluffy and rocky khaki head that sticks around leaving great thick retention and sticky frothy lacing. The aromas are malt forward along with some caramel, toffee and citrus. The flavors are very clean, crisp and refreshing for the style. More caramel and toffee. Hints of orange and grapefruit. Subtle bitterness. It's not that sweet. Malts do their thing without completely dominating. It finishes pretty clean and even a little dry. Alcohol goes unnoticed. Mouthfeel is nice. It's medium-bodied with active carbonation. It's sharp, crisp, smooth and easy to drink.
This is a nice brew. It's extremely clean and crisp. There's something about this one that I really like. It's "simple", but in a really good way. It has a "red ale/hoppy red ale" vibe going on and probably isn't what you think of when you hear "Strong Ale", probably because of the "lower" ABV for the style. The craftsmanship is on point and really takes this beer to the next level. Well done. I really like it.

I got a can of this beer from the single shelf from my local Giant Eagle store. It poured a clear amber with white head that is leaving some lace. The scent had subtle fresh hop notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with fresh hop finish . The mouthfeel was medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it's a good beer.
