582. Indiana City Brewing Co. (Indianapolis, IN) - Amarillo, Yo!

“Juicy, hazy pale ale series brewed with lactose and featuring massive whirlpool & dry hop additions of super aromatic hops.”

If I said at some point before that one of these beers was the swan song for the dear, departed Indiana City Brewing Co., then I was perhaps speaking in haste. I’ve been hanging on to one of these bad boys, along with three cans of Black Acre stuff, since both of those breweries folded earlier this year. The 1-2 punch was somewhat traumatic; they were two of my favorite breweries in Indianapolis. But due to circumstances that shall perhaps be discussed later, I have decided to stop cellaring these last four cans of joy. And it turns out that I have never commented on this particular Indiana City brew, so…here we go. It’s both light (clocking in at only 5.5% ABV) and flavorful, and the lactose doesn’t cut much off of the citrus shine and mildly bitter finish. You won’t be surprised to hear that I love it, and that I wish I had more of them. I also wish that these cats could have hung on, and that maybe they will resurface someday, in premises with a manageable rent.
