Sensory Description:

Finkel & Garf Brewing Co Red IPA Beer pours with a rich amber-red hue and opens with inviting aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine. Notes of papaya and mango emerge prominently from the Azacca and El Dorado hops, while Chinook contributes subtle resinous and earthy complexity. A maltier backbone than the brewery’s standard IPA provides gentle caramel and toasted bread notes that balance the beer’s hop-forward profile, finishing crisp, smooth, and pleasantly balanced.
