This deep amber ale is extremely well balanced and very drinkable. It appeals both to the hop lover and non hop lover. This beer is duel-hopped with Cascade and Delta hops. Cheers to the Red Devil!

This is a big brown ale with a big head and a blend of Carmel, cedar, raisins and apple with a low citrus flavor. There is a low hop bite and most stout drinkers would love this. I recommend it.

This is one of those Red/Amber ales where the hops don't come on strong and you can taste the roasted malts which is what I like in a Red.

On draft at Bloomsbury Cafe in Ashland. Poured a clear, amber color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sudsy lace. It smelled of roasted malt, caramel and floral notes. Sweet caramel and toffee taste with a mild bitterness.

Pretty good for a red ale. Pleasant cascade hop flavor. Not too bitter or soapy, as hop-foward ales can be. Nice drinkable feel. Light red brown color.

Taster at brewery. Dark amber pour, small foamy head. Malty aroma and taste. sweet, Incredibly smooth. Not as malty as you would think for a red. Tasty.

Look: Ruby red, clear with a huge off-white head that pillows nicely then pulls back leaving great lacing
Aroma: Rich malt up front, hops work in right behind – spicy, piney, and citrus notes dominate
Taste: Hops grab right away, only to be cast aside with a huge, bready malt presence that dominates and then joined again harmoniously by the hops. Notes of orange, grapefruit, pine sap, and earthiness
Mouthfeel: Silky smooth, medium carbonation and a great balance of malty sweetness and hops keep it quaffable. Slightly dry finish
Overall: A winning libation here as is to be expected from these folks and when done right, one of my favorite styles and surprisingly hard to find overall. Funny too as my sentiments about this are echoed and written on the can; “Diablo Rojo beckons for both the hop lover and the non-hop lover.” Couldn’t have said it better myself and pumped to give this a run again after a several-year hiatus. Awesome
