King River Brewing Red IPA (375ml)

Red IPA | 6.2% | Untapped 3.74 

"Sure, they've made plenty of beers where hops and yeast are the star but moreso than many modern craft brewers, malt-led drops are a key part of what King River Brewing do. Afterall, they've won a trophy for a malt-led lager and their core range includes an altbier and a schwarzbier. In the case of Red IPA, it's a beer that combines both a love for malt and hops, with the red copper beer providing lashings of toffee and caramel alongside stone fruit and passionfruit. Balancing all that out is a decent bitterness and a soft, textural body that carries the beer's big flavour." Crafty Pint 

"Our hoppy and malty Red IPA. Passionfruit, grapefruit, and citrus aromatics from Citra Cryo, Galaxy and Vic Secret hops, all on a big malt base. This beer manages a rich balance between malt and hops. A beer for the flavour hunters." Brewery Notes

Beer Style Backgrounder - Red IPA

A Red IPA is a modern craft beer style that sits between an American Amber Ale and an American IPA, characterized by its deep amber to reddish-copper color, intense hop aroma, and robust malt backbone. It features the high bitterness of a typical IPA but with added complexity from crystal or dark malts, which provide notes of caramel, toffee, or dark fruit.
