With a beautiful red/amber color, Pagosa Brewing & Grill’s “Shreddin’ Red IPA” has an amazing hop punch and a great malt balance, making for an easy-drinking pint.
This red IPA uses high alpha hops like Columbus and Nugget and is balanced with two caramel/crystal malts to give a counterpoint of flavor. A subtle touch of black malt encourages a deep red color and crisp finish.
In short, we think this recipe has repeat brew written all over it.
