Poured into a 12oz snifter glass at pub in Boise (here for work)
Foam head dissipated before I could take a sip. But has a beautiful red color (minus the foam it needs)
Little to no smell.
Taste is interestingly, it is lacking all the hops that would make it an "India" ale, more of an amber/red ale. But then you get the citrus and fruit after taste (I hate swishing beer but sometimes you need to)
Overall a good imperial beer but missing the hops that would make me call it an I IRA, more like an imperial red ale.

On tap at the brewery. Put this down as an Irish, because nothing else quite fit. Malt first, followed by an adequate dose of hops. Muddy amber, small soapy head, rings of lacing. Finishes fast. Another great outing from this new brewery.

Nice big goblet tonight at the brewery... Pours a little hazy amber with a long lasting light khaki head... great lacing... Resinous pithy grapefruit hops and just enough dry toasty maltiness to let you know this is a big boy beer... Great body and long lingering hoppy bitterness on the palate... Very nice. Another winner.
