Indeed Day Tripper

In the summer of 2013, I went to Target Field with my Grandpa and friend Lee to watch the “Power House” Twins take on the would be World Series Champions, Boston Red Sox.  While we were walking to the game, we stopped at Jackson’s Hole to use the facilities.  We decided that it would be a good idea to hang out there a bit, have a beverage, and maybe a bite to eat.  As I approached the bar, the bartender told me that all tall taps were $3.  I saw a tap that I had never seen before so I asked the bartender what it was.  She replied, “It’s a Pale Ale called Day Tripper from the local brewery Indeed.”  Being a fan of Summit Extra Pale Ale, I figured I would give it a try and of course, I’m very glad that I did.

Beer:  Day Tripper

Brewery:  Indeed

Beer Style:   American Pale Ale

Year:  2014

Alcohol:  5.40%

Look  As I poured Day Tripper into a glass, a dark, gold, copper beer emerged with a somewhat hazy appearance.  It only produced a short pure white head but it left unbelieveable lacing.  

Smell  This is a very aromatic beer.  Bright floral citrus with slight lemon and orange were the first smells I picked up.  There was also a nice smell of malts.  It smells like a mild IPA, not as potent as your typical IPA.

Taste  Day Tripper tastes wonderful, just like it smells.  Off the bat I tasted a bright citrus including lemon and orange flavor.  There was also a nice hoppiness that followed.  At the end I was able to pick up a slight caramel malt flavor.  All the flavors work very well together and achieve a nice balance.

Overall Rating

Price:  $$ out of $$$$

Rating:  5 out of 5

You need to get out and try Indeed Day Tripper.  This is a year round brew from Indeed so do not worry about it running out in the stores or the bars.  This is a very drinkable Pale Ale and should be enjoyed year round.  I have had this beer from the can and on tap and they both taste great.
