Strip away the old debris with this bold Red IPA. Assertive hoppiness balances a sturdy malt bill highlighted by rich caramel notes. The alluring crimson hue will make you want to ditch the lawnmower and grab a Leaf Blower!

Poured into a Delirium Tremens snifter. Label says 10 09 2015.
A- Pours a reddish medium brown color with a 1/2 inch light tan head that retains well before becoming a thick ring around the edge of the glass and a full sheet of bubbly surface foam. Resilient lacing leaves large clots behind
S- Moderate hop aroma along with some crystal malt as well as some cereal grain like malt sweetness.
T- Nice hop/malt duality at first, then there's a metallic finish that I'm not really digging. Medium bitterness that lingers a bit. Yeah, the metallic taste clashes with the bitterness and isn't doing this beer much justice. Gets a little better as it warms.
M- Sharp from the hops with medium carbonation and a body leaning toward the fuller side.
O- Wanting to like this beer but I wish there was more of the malt sweetness in the flavor that I'm finding in the aroma.
