Downpour balances on the border between malt and huge hop flavors, much like the balance between warm summer days and the bitter cold thunderstorms we get here in the high country of Colorado. The beer pours a hazy redwood red with a white fluffy head. Hops dominate the nose with pine, earth, and grapefruit balanced slightly by caramel malt flavors and hints of our fruity London Ale yeast. The beer hits the palate with bitter hop notes of pine and is balanced by bready malt. A beer for the hop freaks among us.

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8
750 ml bottle caged and corked. Pours reddish amber with a big fluffy off-white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is strong piney hops, almost spruce-like, and rye with a little sweet malt.
The flavor is sweet bready malts with some rye and a big piney hop finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a nice piney hoppy imperial red. I get rye out of it - I don't see that listed so maybe the hops?
