Red Giant IPA
A red IPA built on a rich blend of light and dark caramel malts and a full dose of American hops, finishing with dry-hop character and toffee flavors. The name winks at the sun, which turns into a red giant in about 5 billion years; this beer got there first. Draft only, 6.8 % and 53 IBU. Poured at the brewpub in Waimea.
