Madtree Rounding Third Red IPA on tap at Yard House in Cincinnati, OH. A 3 of 4. I've always enjoyed Red IPAs and it's sad to see so few these days -- this is nice and has what you'd expect with a touch of caramel and toffee malt sweetness in the body with some primarily citrus and fruity hop notes. Nice moderate bitterness in the finish.

8.5 / 10

You know that old expression “when pigs fly”? I feel like they are missing the second part of the saying because I’m pretty sure it should go “when pigs fly… there will be massive piles of disgusting shit raining down from the sky and all of the air will smell god awful because of those swine bastards”. Just think about how filthy those fuckers are and how horrible birds are and once you combine them you basically have a living nightmare. Ughhh, I just got the chills from thinking about it. I always love it when a brewery is able to make me love a style I’m not usually too big on and Avery has me swooning over this like a 10 year old boy looking at the bra section of a Sears catalog. A nice caramel and floral hop burst starts things off with a nice hop wave of bitterness mixing in afterwards before ending with a malty sweetness mixed with more floral hop flavor to round things out. Avery is constantly putting out amazing brews and this is no exception to that because they took a style that usually is pretty neglected and blah and elevated it into something down right amazing. If you want to taste a red IPA done the right way make sure you pick this up because if you think you’ll have to wait until “when pigs fly” in order to find an example of the style that you’ll love, hopefully you get covered in swine shit because this beer kicks ass. As for you n00bz out there, this is probably going to be a bit much for you but once your taste buds get their weight up, you’ll be ready for this so make sure you keep it in mind. Oink!

MORBID RED / THRASH ZONE (Yokohama, Kanagawa) マツやシダーのようなホップアロマが香るレッドIPA（でいいのだろうか？）。ボディはさすがに他のIPAよりも重く感じる。苦味はここのIPA野中ではかなり柔らかくなっており、モルトの甘みとのバランスもとてもよい。ものすごく久々に飲んだがアピアランスのクリアネスがたいへんよくなっている。

843. Widmer Brothers Brewing – Brrr Hoppy Red

We’ve been cleaning the house all day, preparing for family to come over tonight after my in-laws 50th anniversary dinner. I was ready for a beer about two hours ago, but I’m finally gr…

El Segundo Humble Expression Red IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 4 of 4. I'm a sucker for this style and so glad to see another good one hit the shelves -- I hope I see it again. Very classic in this style -- some nice orange citrus and pine notes for the hops and quite a bit of nice caramel malty notes with some toast that provide sweetness. The body is well balanced between the hop and malt characteristics, and this finishes with just the slightest touch of bitterness.

Resident Spreadsheet Superhero Red Rye IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. This is a favorite style of mine, and this has what you'd expect -- a nice pine and citrus nose, a body with some caramel malt sweetness and rye spiciness, and a moderately aggressive bitterness in the finish. This was a bit more citrus-forward than I was expecting and the body is nice and light, and it's quite good.

Brouwerij ‘t IJ Red IPA (Picked up at Albert Heijn in Amsterdam). A 2 of 4. Smells of caramel malt sweetness and faint bit of orange citrus. Thin body that's on the maltier side of things, and a relatively simple, dry finish.

Fort Point Rivet Double Red IPA (Picked up at Windmill Farms). A 3 of 4. Not the most common IPA style these days, but I’m happy to see this. Smells of resinous pine and orange citrus, and the body is more pine-centric in the body. Nice caramel malt sweetness and a firm bitterness that has a resinous finish on the palate that lingers.
