Red IPA·United States·6.1% ABV·One of 28 Red IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Fixed Gear's caramel and hoppy character. Fixed Gear takes its name from the energy and audacity of the fixed-gear courier. It pours crimson under a rocky white head, with a floral-citrus aroma from aggressive Centennial, Cascade and Chinook dry hopping. Dark caramel malts supply a malty spine and caramel flavours, and a balanced citrus bite follows. Brewed since 2010, 6.1% ABV, 46 IBU, medium body.
