482. Traders Brewing Company (Indianapolis, IN) - 1st Team All Juicy

“Hazy Pale ale flavored and dry hopped with Citra hops and infused with citrus.”

Oh, yes indeed. It’s grapefruity and piney up front, with a mild, dry finish; and that by itself would be enough to make it a winner, but that’s not all it’s going to do for you. As it warms, the bright flavor of orange zest begins to rise, and there might even be a little hint of peach at the end. Absolutely spectacular. My brother-in-law loves this place and talks it up to me all the time, but it’s way the hell across town for me and I never had the chance to stop in until last weekend, in the space between when I got off work and when I had to be at Zionsville High School for Jackson’s choir concert. The taproom is kind of hard to find and not especially homey—but this is the kind of beer that could make someone want to drive all the way across town.
