Indeed Flavorwave IPA

Indeed Flavorwave IPA. 6.2% ABV, 70 IBU. Indeed Brewing Company, Minneapolis, MN.

Ever-so slightly hazy, bright golden hued, lovely ivory head holding down the fort.

In the nose: Bold pine and brash citrus. A slice of tropical fruit notes, a splash of tangerine, grapefruit.

In the mouth: Bitterness breaks through from the start, crashing hard on the palate. Fruity flavors follow, citrus, tropical, pine. Bitter, fruity, a little juicy, then ending nice and dry. Moderate malt, not enough to get in the way of the hops, and that's the way that I like it. Lightish bodied and easy-drinking, for hop-heads like me.

The blend of hops in the flavor is what really makes this one for me. Indeed crafted a fine one, here, and I'll reach for it with something approaching regularity.

A juicy and tropical IPA exploding with notes of pineapple and dank citrus. A blend of Denali, Citra, Mosaic, Centennial, and El Dorado hops give this beer a whirlpool of flavors sure to send your taste buds on a ride while remaining approachable. Flavorwave pours a sunlit golden color with a respectable amount of natural haze.
