The Runoff is a very nice amber....easy to drink and enough hops to make it interesting. It poured a rich amber with white head that is leaving a spotty lace. There is not much to smell...some bread and hop notes. The taste is evenly balanced but finishes with a slight bitter crispness. There is some sweet caramel and bread base with light hop top. The mouthfeel is medium in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a solid offering.

Poured from a bottle with what I think says 5/6/16D. D for dunno what that means. Anyway, color is a dark copper and copper head too. My first thought was "malt". Noticing it had been left in the unfrigerated section even though it said please refrigerate on bottle. Anyway lacing is beautiful, smell is non-existant. No malt even really, maybe just the slightest roasted smell at first pour and from bottle but yeah. Taste is where the pale-heavy malt mixture comes out, and this beer is actually pretty refreshing. A pretty good beer, kind of laid back taste and feel. I actually dig the kind of warm buzz it is giving in the face and appreciate the more dark malts in the flavor now. Darker, malt beers aren't really my thing but this one is pretty good. I feel like I've had similar beers with more alcohol in them.

A: Dark amber-brown color with a large head, more than a cm thick, dense and lasting.
S: Highly resinous hop aroma, with an faint underlay of sweet malt.
T: Great mix of malt and hops! Initial taste is highly bitter with a rush of hop flavor, piney, wood resin, followed by a substantial malt backbone, toasted, with caramel, sweet enough to break the hoppy dryness at the finish.
M: Good body, substantial but not too thick and heavy.
O: Damn tasty beer, one of the better red IPAs out there.

Pours an almost perfect sunset red. Smells of fresh picked pinon mixed with mountain dew. Taste like a west coast ipa witha thicker base and feels like a good red ale

L: Lovely red-brown hue. Coarse beige head. Enticing. Great lacing.
A; Hops come through first with citrus and pine. A deep note reveals caramel malts.
T: First, tangerine and orange. Then the bready malts come through to round out the taste. Moderate bitterness. Begins like an IPA, then takes on amber qualities, and finally finishes bitter. Bread and caramel dominate after the initial citrus. A little bit of spicyness.
M: High carbonation. Effervescent. Moderate body.
O: A beer that walks the line. Drinkable yet complex. Well done.

This is like a lighter version of the O'Dell Extra Special Red Ale I would venture a guess. Hits that 1/2" white head range, bright red appearance with ample clarity. Aroma was mildly hoppy first, then as much in the taste. The hopping rate kept the mouthfeel in hoppy territory and kept it from becoming too much like Killian's with its red/amber ale malt deadwood flavor trappings.
