Redpoint by Ground Up is a captivating American Red Ale that promises a delightful journey for hop enthusiasts. This brew pours a deep amber-orange hue, topped with a fluffy off-white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma is an intense blast of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine, with notes of pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and resinous pine dominating the senses. The initial sip reveals a robust body with a velvety mouthfeel, mirroring the aromatic experience. The flavor profile is a vibrant blend of juicy citrus, tropical fruit, and a slightly bitter, piney finish. A subtle biscuity malt base provides a sturdy backbone to the intense hop character, creating a well-balanced and satisfying drinking experience. With a moderate to high bitterness that lingers on the palate, Redpoint strikes a harmonious balance between the sweet fruitiness and the crisp, clean finish, leaving a hint of citrus zest on the tongue. This full-bodied and intensely flavorful Double India Pale Ale showcases the vibrant hop profile characteristic of New Zealand beer, making it a captivating choice for hop enthusiasts.
