About this beer

Port City Brewing’s Metro Red is an American Red India Pale Ale weighing in at 6.5% ABV. The beer’s color is described as “all-burn” on the label, evoking a deep reddish hue, and tasting notes point to citrusy, dark caramel, and hop burn characteristics. Crafted with a dry hop process – indicated by a prominent badge on the label – Metro Red utilizes hops to deliver a vibrant aroma and flavor. The label’s vibrant artwork is strikingly modern, featuring geometric shapes and bold colors reminiscent of a vintage travel poster and a stylized depiction of a metro line, referencing the brewery’s Alexandria, Virginia location and the Washington D.C. metro system.

The beer is certified by the Independent Craft Brewers Association, indicating its commitment to independent brewing practices, and comes in 16-ounce cans. It’s part of Port City’s Hop Series, suggesting a focus on showcasing different hop profiles within their portfolio. Standard legal warnings regarding responsible consumption are also present.
