The brewery insists this is an American Strong Ale. At Fifty Seven Degrees, where I had this, they called it a Double Red Ale, which is more descriptive.

In any case the color is a beautiful clear, dark ruby red in the tulip. Quite handsome with a spritzy mouthfeel to the bottom of the glass. Woody and malty with a grainy tang. The hops are flavorful and clean with a long bitter finish.

This stuff is just so red, I wonder how they brewed it. Very tasty, just strong enough for a big beer, and it avoids the overdose of hops and sugar that a lot of these monster brews have. Another small brewery that barely gets kegs out on the market but worth seeking out.
