Shark Attack Double Red Ale

Appearance - 4.0

Pours 2 fingers of creamy light tan head into a pint glass. It's got great retention and leaves some decent lacing. The beer has a murky, dark red appearance with visible carbonation.

Aroma - 4.0

The nose is full of sweet crystal malt paired with aggressive piny hops. The combination also emits a spicy aroma.

Mouthfeel - 4.5

Medium to full in body with a very oily, resiny feel from the copious amount of hops. Medium carbonation.

Taste - 4.5

Some sweet malt up front followed by a ton of piny hops flavor. Caramel notes interweave with the pine and then there is a big bitter finish that lingers in the mouth. There is a little bit of booze detected in the finish.

Overall - 4.5

Over the top crystal and west coast hops give this beer a nice flavor profile. It's a little bit spicy and piny but with enough crystal to back it up.
