🌍 United States · Red Ale · One of 4 Red Ales in hopIQ

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.
