Revelry Imperial Red Ale

Excited to see this. Haven't had a new Two Brothers in awhile. And a hoppy red too. Probably my favorite style. It is not Easter! Rather the bucket pictured in the background was my use of a Mythbusters trick to cool it quickly in a saltwater-ice mix, because I couldn't wait. Well this is a heavy sweet red. Not catching the hop flavor I had been hoping for, but the hop bitterness does keep that sweetness nicely in check. If it were just a bit sweeter, I'd be disappointed, but this rounds out well. That sweetness also warms the throat, so you know it's "imperial". Pardon my gas, but the hops show up nicely on a burp. So altogether this is an ID.
