Pataskala Red X IPA

I don't know the difference between a red ale and a red IPA, but I like a hoppy red. Now, I can't even believe I'm going to say this, but that just might be too much citrus hop flavor for a red! OK, it's not a red ale, just an IPA with red color, so the hops are valid (backpedaling here). And that's not true either, 'cause the longer I swill this the more a flavor of darker malt comes through. I'm just spoiled now. "Too much hop flavor," I really fuckin' said that, didn't I? Wrong! This is great, especially if it causes me to argue with myself! What happens after a few more?! MB
