Indeed Strawberry Fields

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to...

Indeed Strawberry Fields Sour Ale. 5.7% ABV. 18 IBU. Brewed and canned by Indeed Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

This beer was originally released in the summer of 2016 in a very small batch, with a limited release. I was able to get one small keg that vanished in no time, but not before I took down some notes, which you can see here.

At last, their latest beer named for a Beatles song (Day Tripper, Lucy (In the Sky with Diamonds), the New Belgium collaboration beer Come Together), is available in cans. And my brother-in-law Pete can stop pestering me about it.

Utterly opaque, rosy-reddish toned, with a nicely pinkish head. Looking' pretty.

In the nose: touch of sour with tons of sweet fruit. Getting sweeter and fruitier as we go, but never too much.

In the mouth: Pow! Puckeration. Mmm, intense sourness, matched with bright, lovely fruitiness. An incredible combination. Sweet, sour, sweet, sour, all the live-long day. It works very well. It's strawberry, and it's sour---what? Yeah, it works, and it's good. Non-stop pucker, long fruity/sour flavors. And great drinking for that sour-head in your life. Tasty stuff, Indeed.

You want strawberry? You want fields? Forever, maybe? You got 'em.

Jam-packed with juicy goodness, Strawberry Fields Ale is back. Originally created as part of New Belgium Brewing's "Beers with Vrienden" collaboration series, this Strawberry Kettle Sour found a permanent patch at Indeed. An addition of Lactobacillus provides a tart backdrop for playful notes of strawberry to kiss you right on the mouth. Light and crisp with a dry finish, you'll want to drink Strawberry Fields forever.
