Cask at the Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting.
Pours a deep brownish amber with a small bubbly tan head that subsides quickly.
The aroma is dominated by the roasted sweet caramel malts but has plenty of citrus hops as well. The character has a fairly toasted character overall.
The taste has a grassy hop kick up front which fades quickly into the toasted malts with a bit of caramel sweetness and a slight dryness in the finish with hints of hop bitterness.
The mouthfeel is good with some hop stickiness and a typically low level of carbonation from the cask.
This is an excellent amber and one of the better beers I tasted at the ACAT. Very drinkable and definitely recommended.

Appearance: Clear, chestnut brown body with a bubbly, off-white head.
Smell: A bit roast, toasty, and grainy is the nose with a minor waft of caramelized grains alonside expressive hop scents of wood, florals, citrus, and even grass.
Taste: Toasty and roasty with a very brief caramelized sugar sweetness. Then, it's time for the hop flavors of from the nose with a moderate bitterness. Finishes dry with a lingering taste of wood chips.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-low carbonation. Lightly sticky mouthfeel.
Drinkability: One of the better Max Lagers brews I've had in awhile. An enjoyable Imperial Red!
