    I love Modern Times Blazing World and Green Flash Hop Head Red.
    Sixpoint Global Warmer was great too but I haven't had it in a couple years.

    Nugget Nectar has always underwhelmed me. Likewise Oskar Blues G'Knight and Lagunitas Imperial Red.

    Founders Reds Rye was my most purchased beer when it was available in sixers. Wish it would return in that format.

    Looking forward to trying Stone Pataskala.

    21st Amendment Toaster Pastry is now being released in six packs. I have not tried it yet but will be all over it when I see it.

    Toaster Pastry, followed by Global Warmer. I can't wait until Pataskala hits my area.

    Pataskala and G'knight kick ass. I remember loving Global Warmer but I haven't had it in a couple years. Nosferatu has faded IMO.

    Spot on. Hop forward mosaic, I'd place it a notch above the Nugget Nectar I drank this year.

    Haven't had it yet, but I have an Alesmith My Bloody Valentine in the fridge, and their winter seasonal which used to be called Winter Yulesmith is an imperial red.

    I'm not big on the reds, so I don't really seek them out, but the best one I've had is Founders Redankulous.

    Wondered about that, when I finally got to try it last year I found it good but was hoping for great.

    I'm sure it could just be my taste changing, but I remember it being so much better compared to the last 2 years

    Hardly any of the beers mentioned are available here in america's 9th largest city/MSA, Atlanta.

    I like Wicked Weed Tyranny.

    Seasonal imperials Nugget Nectar and Nosferatu are the pinnacle of the style for me.

    If one is looking for a SLIGHTLY lower ABV, Bear Republic Red Rocket works nicely.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that one too! This thread made me realize that this is a top style for me and I enjoy many.

    I thought Flipside was a very good red IPA.

    I'm a fan of the style but I've found very few that I really like. G'Knight and Lagunitas Imperial Red are 2 that I love. I thought that I'd like Odell Runoff Red but I'm not a big fan. I just bought another 6 pack of it to try it again but still not a fan.
