Sierra Nevada: Flipside Red IPA

Just spotted Flipside yesterday afternoon and picked up one bottle to sample. It pours the color of a well-worn penny, with a light tan head that starts toweringly tall and quickly recedes to a two finger cap. Hops evident right off the bat, with grapefruit and black pepper being the most obvious tastes. Floral and pine notes flit in and out as well. Supposedly 60 IBU's, but coming across hoppier than that. No malty sweetness like you'd expect from a red. Pretty decent IPA.
