Slightly sweet, clean aroma of vanilla and dark malt. Very sweet taste, quickly replaced by a maltiness that’s slightly dark malt flavor, but very mild. Sweetened with Michigan maple syrup and you can taste that in the initial flavor.
On cask. Clean hop sweet aroma. Clean taste of malt with slight hop sweetness, but not with a bite. A bit of hop aftertaste, but on cask makes this a very smooth hop delivery.
Moderate sweet smell with a bit of hoppiness. Full flavored sweetness that finishes off with a combination of hops, malt, and flavor of high alcohol. Aftertaste is a bit sweet, slightly harsh. Calls itself an Imperial Red IPA. Not sure which word the imperial goes with. Flavor-wise, I think it’s an imperial red that’s also hoppy.
3.5 out of 5 Stars.
Craft beer and homebrew from a Michigan perspective.
