Happy Days in the bossy big brother to our standard red IPA, Station 101. It's strong and bold, bursting with rich malty notes and deep piney aromas. Perhaps a tad intimidating, but truly satisfying.

Dark rust red in color. Caramel malt up front with a distinct hop presence on the back end. A sessionable red ale.

On tap at Claremont Craft Ales in Claremont, CA.

Billed as a hoppy double red ale.

Pours a clear orange-brown with a foamy tan head that settles to a partial film on top of the beer. Thick rings of lace the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, caramel, citrus zest, and herbal aromas. Taste is much the same with earthy and dirty herbal hop flavors on the finish. There is a mild amount of hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an average beer that is drinkable but has an unrefined hop presence in my opinion.
