Inspired by the energy and audacity of the fixed gear courier, Lakefront Brewery ran smack into this arresting creation. Fixed Gear is a big, bold American red IPA. It pours a glaring crimson tone with a rocky white head and a brilliant floral-citrus aroma, thanks to an aggressive dry hopping. Its immodest, malty spine and intrepid caramel flavors blow in via gratuitous amounts of 2-row pale and dark caramel malts. A balanced citrus bite comes from Chinook and Cascade hops followed shortly by mild, fruity esters from the ale yeast. Weighing in at a mean 6.8% ABV and 54 IBU's, this one's got an attitude.

Has a very minor caramel malt taste which is surprising for a red. Mildly bitter. Doesn't taste much like an IPA. Tastes more like an amber beer. I'm a little disappointed

Tart and bitter. The lack of any malt makes this beer feel thin and hollow. It's saving grace is it is refreshing.
