The Imperial Texan

When they say big things come from Texas, the folks over at Martin House Brewing Company in Fort Worth, TX put this way of live in a generous 16 oz can in the form of a Double Red Ale. Everything about this beer is big, but despite its size it is evenly balanced with hops, bitterness, pine and citrus. Amber-orange in color, it passed the ” I can’t see light through the beer” test. The foam was off-white. From the pour you can tell its going to be a highly enjoyable beer. Big in flavor, so drink this one last if you are drinking a variety of beers. I rarely find a red that is so hoppy, too bad I’ll have to drive from California to Texas to get one. *Side note – My wife enveloped the very last of what was left. Looks like a visit to Fort Worth is in order.
