Hop Head Red

Hop Head Red, Green Flash Brewing Company, San Diego, CA
(American IPA, Rated 98)

Ok, little confused. The labels says red IPA. Ratebeer.com says this is an amber ale. It's identified as an American IPA on UNTAPPD. Yet, the Green Flash Brewing Company website shows this beer has won awards in the American Red Ale style. At first taste, I can see that this beer has characteristics from a few different styles. Pours a reddish-brown color with a thick white head. Aromas of malt, mild floral hops, and a grassy quality. Malty up front, sweet caramel flavors, and mild hops. Smooth, sweet, and tasty. Has flavors from a red ale and hops from an IPA. Excellent beer!
