Sisyphus Commie Calvin Imperial Red Ale

Named for the taproom's socialist bartender, the irascible Calvin. Just kidding. He's all mutter. I've never got into politics with him. I leave that out of respectable tavern talk.

7.3% ABV. 43 IBU.

Clear, bright crimson coloring, lush, off-white head. Looking good.

Aroma: fruity, earthy, rustic. Malty. And highly hoppy. Grassy. Ah...

In the mouth: fierce bitterness, sweet malt. Crazy tasty. Medium bodied, with intense flavors.  Pretty smooth, actually. Yum. I like it.

Maybe one of my favorites from Sisyphus. No, definitely. And I like this trend of naming the beers, especially moving away from the joke names.
