Indeed Brewing Flavorwave IPA Review
This Twin Cities take on New England-style IPA is hazy and golden as a summer sunset with splashes of pineapple and grapefruit aromas on the notes, and similar fruity flavors on the palate. It's moderate alcohol by volume (ABV) makes Flavorwave a daringly drinkable, feeling sessionable despite weighing in a percent or two above what would normally be considered "session IPA." A mix of tropical and citrusy hop character is more general than distinct, but balances out nicely with a soft finish.
