I went to Otto's Pub and Brewery in State College with some friends the other day, and I wound up getting Arthur's Imperial Red Ale, mainly because it was one of the few beers on tap that I haven't tried yet, and I was in the mood for something different -- I haven't tried a new beer in close to a week, so I was jonesing for different. Normally I'm pretty good about remembering to take pictures, but it slipped my mind.

Impression:
I had this beer on tap. It was a mildly hazy coppery-caramel color, and the little head that remained by the time it got to my table was a very light khaki. It had a fairly appealing aroma, lightly toasty maltiness underlying assertive citrus/grapefruit and mild earthy/herbal flavors. The mouthfeel adds a not quite chewy consistency, with a decent amount of effervescence tingling the tongue. The aftertaste is mild grapefruit and toasted malt, but it doesn't linger very long. Fairly decent overall.
Cheers!
