hopIQ found 10 beers with the same caramel and bitter character as Fat Man Red Suit Big Sack. A Christmas ale from the high country built as a red IPA, first brewed for export to Canada. Toffee and caramel malt give the deep red colour and a sweet spine, and three Australian hop varieties stack on top: passionfruit and stone fruit from Galaxy, a herbal pine edge from Topaz, red berry from Enigma. At 65 IBU the bitterness is high enough to cut through the malt, and the close is long, resinous and dry. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
