Um, ya, so it's very similar to the Ranger IPA, but not as hoppy or unique in flavor. Really left me wishing I had went with another beer this time around. Its got some citrus in there, to make it slightly different, but still has that New Belgium character.
I guess trying out unexciting beers is just part of the job...
Oh right. Well.. my advice for this seasonal is to skip it!
From the company:
Fall is here and with it our seasonal ale, Red Hoptober. Shining like autumn leaves in a globe glass this beer pours a dark and lovely garnet as it builds a bright, inviting head. The Eldorado hops are bold and present with a distinct, piney flavor while the caramel malt and roasted barley provide a backbone to stand Red Hoptober upright. Centennial and Cascade hops offer hints of citrus, tickling the nose, while the tongue carries a subtle, roasty tone that pairs pleasantly with the warming bite of bitter. Red Hoptober is perfect for shortening days and campfire nights.
