Evil Dead Red

◎ Appearance

Deep blood-red in color, displaying the characteristic hue of caramel-forward amber ales. The beer presents good clarity with a firm, cream-colored head that settles to a thin collar. Fine carbonation produces steady streams of small bubbles and shows moderate lacing retention on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by resinous pine and bright citrus notes from American hops, layered over a rich caramel maltiness. Sweet bready undertones and toasted grain character emerge in the background, creating a balanced interplay between hop intensity and malt sweetness. The overall impression is inviting and aromatic without being overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth with prominent hoppy character and piney bitterness that builds through the mid-palate, supported by substantial caramel and toffee notes from the Malz backbone. The citrus thread continues beneath a rich, bready sweetness that prevents the beer from becoming harsh or overly dry. Moderate bitterness (28 IBU) remains balanced, allowing malt and hop complexity to coexist.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-length with lingering pine and citrus dryness complemented by a gentle caramel sweetness on the palate. Aftertaste leans toward herbal resin with a faint toasted grain echo.
