look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3

Poured in a pint glass from a 12oz bottle. Reviewed from notes.

A- Clear red-orange color, half a finger off-white watery head. Minute and a half retention.

S- Darker malts and some bittering hops. Subtler smell. Some spiciness to it.

T- Spices and spicy hops. The malts cool it down at the end and are more subdued.

M- Medium bodied. Well carbonated and a bitter linger.

O- Ok beer. The appearance is mediocre, but the taste and mouthfeel are nice.

Source: 12oz bottle
 
S: Fresh and bright pine, some juicy red berry/cherry, herbaceous, light lemon/orange citrus and even a touch of grape. Alcohol comes through as it warms and is slightly fruity, clean, smooth and quite strong.
 
T: Somewhat fruity (cherry, berry) with a rustic, almost pit-like quality up front. Equally matched by well-structured pine bitterness to give a nice sweet-bitter play with a nice overall brightness. Middle is slightly dry but the grape-skin, almost pithy bitterness accentuates this (probably the high alcohol too) a bit too much leading to a dry harshness which really impacts my enjoyment. Definitely malty (red fruit and apple) with caramel, a touch of toast, and heavy mouthfeel for the style, though it does remain slightly bright and lively. Alcohol is hidden except for a bit of dryness and pepper in the finish which goes along with pine and a hint of mineral, apple, and grape. Finish is clean for the style, without much lingering.
 

Note: Average red IPA on the dry, bitter side. Would buy again if on sale.
