Style: American Imperial IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 9.50%
Availability: Rotating
Notes / Commercial Description:
reDANKulous Imperial Red IPA is a no frills, bold 9.5% ABV India Pale Ale. It pours a pleasing burnt amber with some sweetness due to the Caramalt and roasted barley used in the malt bill. But hops are the true headliner in this elaborate sensory experience. The spicy, piney, tropical complexities of Chinook, Mosaic and Simcoe hops hit you right away with their dank aroma—and they stick around. Take a sip to have your palate simultaneously walloped and caressed in all the right places. Combined, the hops take the beer to 90 IBUs. It’s not just ridiculous. It’s reDANKulous.

Pours a copper amber color. Big dank aroma, hefty bitterness, long hoppy finish. I liked sipping on this bad boy. Drink it fresh if you find it! Don't sit on this.

I delicious, caramel rich strong ale, plenty of lingering bitterness to mingle with the brown sugared, brandied cherry and marmalade. Kind of like Bigfoot, but less floral and piney, more graham cracker and gingerbread. This is a sipper and will definitely find a place of regular rotation at my house this fall

Copper reddish color with a thick beige head with great retention and leaving laces.
Nice aroma with notes of lychees, mango, pine, red fruits, apples and toasted malt.
Flavor with lots of green dank resiny notes, red fruits, mild caramel, toasted malts, mango, pineapple juice, pine, pepper and earth. Quite dry and bitter aftertaste.
Bordering medium body with appropriate carbonation. Alcohol of 9.5% is incredibly well hidden.
Very good American Strong Ale with lots of resiny green and red peppery flavors. Recommended.

Beautiful beer through and through. Looks like a deep ambered ale, and the smell is gorgeously hoppy with the full frontal assault of roasted barley and caramel. The hop profile is spicy and strong. The taste is everything you could want from a red ale, coupled with the explosions of a backwoods piney imperial IPA! Love this beer every time I drink it, and yet, every time I learn something new.

A lot of craft beers have 'catchy' names. There's no BS with this one. It's Dank! And, really dank is not for everyone. ReDank is Bold, Boozy, bitter as hell, strong and hoppy. I almost need a chaser. Taste Like a really strong Scotch Ale. And, it'll get you 'down town' fast. Not for the faint of heart.
