Supposed to be an Irish Red Ale but but I over-tweaked the recipe. I’m now calling it Massive Red Fail because the first few glasses tasted like crap. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s a Friday afternoon or what but this glass actually tastes pretty good. More lager like than IRA, but this is actually becoming drinkable.

What hops did you use? Made Northern Brewer's Imperial Red using Palisade hops,many moons ago. It was killer.
Magnum to bitter. Mostly Calista (one of my favorites!), with a bit of mosaic. I dry hopped with a small amount of cascade that I had leftover from numerous brews. It was an experimental 1G batch and at packaging I thought I had made my worst beer to date, but its coming together. A little tweaking on the hops and I think I would brew again.
Palisade might turn into a staple in my inventory. It seems really underutilized, but I used it in a bunch of different brews last year and was really impressed with it.

Never used Calista but I think the fruity character of Palisade works with the Malty Red character. I think your right in general. With the maltiness if a Red almost requires more hops for an IPA version. Local brewery, Austin Beer Garden Brewery (ABGB), makes a killer Imperial Red IPA, Big Mama, if you ever make it down.

Next....GBR! Girls are up against Minnesota

And it’s not the same without a sold out Devaney Center. 8K+ fans is a different experience. Best place to watch volleyball.
 
My sister used to live in Newport News, her husband is an engine at the base there. Now they live in Williamsburg. When I go down there again I’ll have to check them out.
When you come down, give me a heads up, lots of great places between Virginia Beach and Richmond. Scott's Addition in Richmond is probably the best bang for your buck.
 
.. anyone seen or talked to @RevKev in a while? Used to be super active in this thread.

Unfortunately not. He was working on is PhD in Chemistry if I recall. @Remmy will pop in once in a blue moon still. Not many here left from the 2015 crew...
