Appearance: Deep ruby red, almost violet with a thick white head that dissipates slowly.

Smell: floral notes from the hops, but not overpowering. Quite pleasant in fact.

Taste: Strong, very strong; this definitely has a higher ABV than most beers. The taste is quite hoppy and bitter in a good way.

Overall: This red ale is surprisingly balanced. I didn’t think that I’d enjoy it nearly as much as I did. I would recommend it to anyone that likes a strong beer. 74/100
