Hallertau Brewery - Maximus Humulus Lupulus India Pale Ale

Renaissance Brewing Company - Enlightenment Bloody RIPA Red Rye IPA

The aroma is sweet with berry and a light rye.  It has a deep red appearance.  There is a strong bitterness here but it is quite fresh.  The rye is quite earthy and toasty.  The berry flavour is very deep and rich but sits very deep in the profile.  This is a strong flavoured beer which may be too much for some.
