Night Sky Imperial Red Ale pours a very deep, cloudy, rustic ruby color, with a creamy lid of light brown fluff.

Very nice nose of sweet caramel and fruity malts, with juicy citrus fruits and fresh pine sap.

The flavor brings a very nice array of toasted malts and spicy red rye along with some caramel and toffee sweetness, and the kicker of lots of juicy, citrusy, grapefruits and oranges, along with pine needling, bitter rindy hops. It's pretty full bodied with a nice amount of soft carbonation.

This is a damn good beer, and $.25 of every pint sold goes to the American Cancer Foundation. A worthy brew to drink for a worthy cause.

Serving type: on-tap
