Elysian Mens Room Red

So me and the guys from work have been hearing about this beer on the radio a whole lot. There have been stories of people who have been saying "Bro I put this on my mom, grandma, and ncle Dick its the best beer ever, I mean ever, I'm serious like Mr T bro!". Its pretty intense the response it is getting. Well last Thursday my buddy Ze'ev called me and said "Hey Rome we gotta see what all this noise is about and try this beer". So, Friday it was me, Brad and Ze'ev, we hopped in the whip and mashed out like Dukes of Hazard up to Capital Hill a few hours before Shabbos to check this beer out. We went to the brewery instead of Elysian fields, it was a mad house due to the game that day and the grand unveiling of The Men's Room Red finally being bottled. We got a pitcher of the beer and its core was pulsing red, like it was the heart of the earth...I'm joking, it was a nice amber/red color. The smell was toasty. The taste was amazing, it was medium bodied, with a smooth bitterness. This is a real deal good beer. For being on Tap is a good beer, but in a bottle, I imagine its gonna be top dog for a while. Rumor is they cant even bottle enough to meet the demand, so its there is some outsourcing of brewing. My biggest disapointment is all the clowns who hyped this beer up as if it was the dawn of a new age and the fore runner of the final beer redemption. Overall I will say find it and drink it, its a real good beer, but first tell the hype guys to stop talking and have another Men's Room Red. I give it a 7 out of 10.
