Beers similar to Pinstripe

Red Ale·United States·5.2% ABV·One of 28 Red Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Pinstripe's malty and toasty character. Ska's red-toned amber ale, all crystal malt warmth and moderate American hop kick. Toasted caramel, a light biscuit note, and enough Cascade-forward hop presence in the finish to keep it from ever settling into sweet. Pinstripe is a working-day beer for a bike-shop-adjacent Colorado brewery. Precisely what it looks like on the can — clean, striped, well cut.
