I am trying a new brewery for my following review: Riled Up Red by Proper. I served the beer at 44 degrees in a Belcher glass. The pour created a frothy and airy two-fingered light tan head with excellent retention. The slow dissipation left lots of lacing on the glass. I am charting the beer's color at SRM 15 medium amber with deep red hues. The beer is clear and devoid of carbonation bubbles. The appearance of the beer is above average.
Bringing the glass to my nose, I'm greeted with a bouquet of aromas. The hops, with their massive floral composition, carry hints of herbal and light pine notes. The malt profile, on the other hand, is a delightful mix of caramel, toasted bread, crackers, and a subtle malty sweetness. The phenolic note, reminiscent of a medicinal quality, adds an intriguing layer to the experience. Lastly, there is a rich, earthy layer to the beer.
The hops are the dominant quality in the beer, overshadowing the malt backbone. The malts are toasted bread and crackers, lightly sweet and bready. The hops still have massive floral blossoms with pine, grapefruit, and herbal notes. Other flavors are caramel, earthiness, and a phenolic note.
The mouthfeel is astringent and tannic with a dry finish. The body is medium-light and has medium carbonation.
I'm not fond of the hops that run over the malt profile. The malts are there, but it does have a firm backbone. I enjoy the hop combinations and how they play out on the palate. Also, I need to find out who the sports commentator Billy Riles is. I am going to be doing some research.

Purchased from the brewery cooler for $2.75

Poured at fridge temp into a nonic glass

Pours clear candy apple red (against the light) nearing a crimson with a thin 1F tan head. Some spotty and inconsistent lacing and fading cap and ring. 4

Freshly popped can is a cascade hop bite which seems fairly fresh and pungent. 4

This is a pretty killer tasting red. What I'd consider incredibly well balanced malt, cracker and biscuit, dark lightly fermented stone fruit, earthy hops, and pleasant bitter bite. 4.5

Well carbonated and moderate filling body, light but definitely wouldn't call it thin. Feels robust and satisfying. 4

Overall while I know nothing of who it was named after, I can more than appreciate how well this beer tastes and was made. 4
