425. Indiana City Brewing Co. (Indianapolis, IN) - Batten the Flashes

“Batten the Flashes is the newest release in our Craft Brew Doodle Crew, Hazy IPA Series. This 7.5% ABV juicy, hazy IPA featuring [sic] Meridian, Strata, Lotus, Sultana hops.”

Strong tropical fruit aroma and a soft, juicy flavor with a bite of alcohol at the end. Starts out crisp and smooth, but then deepens and develops an almost jammy quality that sort of makes me think of a boozy strawberry Pop-Tart. (Pop quiz, hotshot—frosted or unfrosted strawberry Pop-Tarts?) Not the best thing I’ve tried from Indiana City, but one of the more interesting ones. (The correct answer is unfrosted.)
