Funky Fluid

Funky Fluid Crimson presents a striking ruby-hued pour, bridging the gap between indulgent malt complexity and assertive hop character. The classic American trio of Citra, Cascade, and Columbus hops drives a pungent aroma of grapefruit zest, sticky pine resin, and floral undertones. These bright top notes are anchored by a sturdy foundation of caramel and toasted breadcrust. On the palate, this Red IPA balances a firm, clean bitterness against a rich, slightly sweet malt backbone, resulting in a complex but highly drinkable profile. The finish is lingering and resinous, highlighting the interplay between citrus oils and deep, reddish malts typical of the style.

Appearance. Deep ruby to reddish-copper in color (14–18 SRM). Topped with a persistent, creamy off-white head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass. Generally clear with a brilliant shimmer.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by citrus zest, grapefruit, and resinous pine from Citra and Cascade. A secondary layer of sweet caramel and toasted bread provides a solid malt base, with a subtle spicy, herbal note from Columbus. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of citrus and resinous hop flavors. A medium-low malt sweetness follows, offering flavors of caramel and toffee that support the hop character. Firm hop bitterness is present throughout but remains balanced. The finish is off-dry and clean, with a lingering citrus and pine aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle prickle. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth reflects the 6.3% ABV without being solventy.
