Indeed Let It Roll IPA

When it comes to the local beers by the breweries I like, I try to get to their new beers right away. I’ve been dragging on this one. No reason why, just been slow to pick it up at the store, all the while wishing I’d get a sample can. Oddly enough, I just got a couple sample cans of Stir Crazy, a beer I’ve been enjoying seasonally for three years now. We can’t question the Sample Man, though, we can only thank and praise him for his kindness. (Note: I did have a cask of it at Acadia, but didn’t take notes on it, and finally ordered a keg, but I don’t take notes at the bar that often. Like to formulate my thoughts in the ol’ Sanctum Sanctorum.)

Indeed Let It Roll India Pale Ale. 6.2 % ABV. 12 oz. 86 IBU. “Juicy, crisp, floral.” Short and sweet, that’s the way I like the gobbledygook. Which is the opposite of gobbledygook.

Lightly hazed, bright crimson coloring, slim off-white head.

In the nose: Intriguing blend of flavors here, nothing in particular jumping out. Some citrus and pine in the mix, but all part of a greater tapestry. Other fruits and berries are suggested, as well, and it’s lower on the bitterness. I like it.

In the mouth: Bitter, crisp and bright from the start, with a long lasting stay on the palate, just the way I like it. Sweet malty character keeps perfect balance. Hoppy bitterness never leaves.

As mentioned earlier, not a lot of mumbo jumbo on the can, I’ll see what I can find out………….. "Go all-in on Let it Roll IPA, brewed with a winning blend of spicy malt and citrusy hops. Together with Let it Ride IPA, we’ve doubled down to bring you an IPA all year round. When you’ve got a good thing going, you Let it Roll, baby, roll."

That doesn't tell me that much. If there's more information out there, I'll find it, eventually.

Back to the beer. Here comes the juicy, yeah, that part is there. The more I drink this, the more I like it. Happiness swells around. It hits me in all the right places, where a good IPA ought to. Nice one, Indeed. Keep on rolling.
