It's possible I was influenced by a fun day, the location, the conditions, and the authentic tamales that were available for purchase. Possible. It's also possible that this Imperial Red is objectively among the most enjoyable beers I've ever had. Absolutely delicious -- terrific example of the style. So good that I bought the commemorative glass that the brewery had available for sale.

On tap at the Oak Creek Brewery & Grill in Sedona.
Pour was reddish amber, very clear, with a remarkably durable, creamy, tan head. The head has a bit of red too. Glass is coated even 30 minutes after pouring. Simply great looking beer!
Aroma: smells like an IPA, although a tiny bit more malty than average.
Taste follows: clearly an Imperial Red, this is strongly flavored with a huge hop component and moderate-high bitterness. Given that, good balance.
Medium-full body with a touch of harshness and heat from the high ABV. Lightly dry finish.
O: a very bold and hoppy red that is more like an IPA than an amber/red.
