Terrapin Brewing Company - Big Hoppy Monster

Really looking forward to this limited release from Terrapin. Really enjoy most red ales, so this was a special treat.

Poured from the bottle into a standard pint glass, darker ruby color that was clear and had about one finger of head that dissipated quickly into a crown on the beer. Hoppy aroma that leans toward citrusy grapefruit, roasted malt aromas come out after some warming. Taste mimics the aroma, with a good malty backbone lending some balance to an otherwise very hoppy ale. Good carbonation that tickles the tongue without overwhelming the feel. Very good beer overall that I could enjoy all evening.

Rating: Better

ABV 8.3%
