Beers similar to Nosferatu

Great Lakes Brewing Company

Red IPA·United States·8% ABV·One of 39 Red IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Nosferatu's bitter and hoppy character. A strong red IPA that began at the Cleveland brewpub in the early 1990s and now returns every August in the Double Feature series. Simcoe and Cascade hops meet a grist of two-row malt, Crystal 77 and Special Roast. It pours deep ruby to chestnut under a tan head. Toasted bread crust, caramel and a light roast sit beneath grapefruit and pine resin, with an earthy, woody edge from the hops. The body is full, the bitterness firm and lingering, and the finish turns dry with some alcohol warmth.
