    Pours a clear dark amber brown color with a huge frothy khaki colored head. I had to wait a few minutes for the head to diminish to finish the pour. Good retention on the head with lots of thick lacing.

    The aroma is a blend of malts and bread with a citrus hop and a touch of spice. A nice aroma, but a bit weak.

    The taste starts with a malty breadiness and quickly moves into a light floral and lemon and finishes with a big grapefruit flavor with a bit of spice. A dry bitterness that has a lasting affect on the palate.

    Medium body with medium carbonation. A slightly chalky mouthfeel with a drying bitterness that lingers.

    Another enjoyable beer from Samuel Adams. This is the first Red IPA that I have had and I find this beer represents this style well. A nice balance between the malts and the citrus hops with the dry bitter finish wrapping things up nicely. Give one a try!
