If this can art doesn’t catch your attention, I’m not sure what will. A typical red ale is associated with a sweeter taste and the wonderfully fruity aroma that this brew gives off may fool you into thinking it’s par for the course. On the contrary! Upon first sip you will notice this baby is loaded with hops. So much so that even IPA fans will enjoy it. What really makes this beer stand out is the hop-forward taste, filled with piney and fruity american hops, and the semi-sweet finish combining two of our favorite things in one beast of a beer.
