🌍 United States · Double Red Ale · One of 1 Double Red Ales in hopIQ

A hop-forward Double Red Ale — the nose is dominated by candied sweetness from Amarillo/Simcoe hops, and the palate answers with a bitter counter-punch backed by a 100-IBU spine. The caramel malt builds the stage, but the show belongs to the hops. GABF Gold 2016 in the Double Red category — a note: at 100 IBU the perceived bitterness is much lower than the number suggests, because the malt sweetness cushions it.
