Appearance
Deep garnet brown color; small head, though it does leave some sticky lace
Smell
Big American hops surprise me-very nice. Was expecting a minor hop presence; this is nearly IPA-level hop aroma.
Taste & Body
First sip wows me. Odell knows how to make great beer. Love this American take on a red ale. So hoppy it's almost like a pale ale or even IPA! Malts are there but in a minor role. Hops are citric fruity and piney bitter; they're working really well together. I'm guessing Simcoe hops were used in the recipe. Pretty clean yeast strain as there's not a lot of fruitiness competing with the hops. Body is right around medium; carbonation seems just a tad low.
Overall
An awesome American Red Ale. I'd take this any day over their 5-Barrel or 90 Shilling.

"Best enjoyed by 5/9/17"; drank 3/12/17 @ the Yarchives.
Semi-opaque ruby red appearance.
A rough pour yielded a huge khaki head; frothy tree-rung lace.
Baking soda, caramel & mild grapefruit notes in the nose.
Medium mouthfeel.
Mild grapefruit & caramel flavors up front; dry baking soda notes on the finish.
Inoffensive & drinkable in a pinch, but I'll certainly never yearn for another one.

Poured from 12oz can into glass. Stamped canning date is '04/07/17'.
Slightly hazy, dark copper colored body, billowing off white head, good coverage of lacing.
Citrus and pine aroma.
Taste follows aroma, with a bitter bite. Good malt base.
Medium mouth feel, slightly sticky.
A very good red IPA, beautiful appearance.

Pours a cinnamon gold in color with a thick head and hearty lacing. This beer looks awesome in color. Smells of malty hops and some pine. Tastes exceptional, I was taken back how good it was. Very nice malty sweetness with a good hit of hops, dryness, and light citrus. A thick beer with a medium feel, this is a a great IPA, very happy with this one!!

This beer pours a clear red amber with a solid head. The aroma is very pungent, with grapefruit, mango, papaya, guava, and pine. The flavor features lots of grapefruit pith, pine, papaya, slight malt sweetness, and pronounce bitterness. The mouthfeel is full bodied with rich, foamy carbonation. Overall this is a truly delicious red ale, with great malt and hop tension.
