A great canned beer for the Summer, while the ABV is a bit high for a truly session-able beer, it's still an easy drink.   I picked up a few 12 packs of the Indie Pale this Summer to enjoy with friends and all were pleased.

The Indie Pale Ale is a pretty balanced IPA, resiny hops up front with a bit of grapefruit, then some malt coming through in the middle, and finally to a nice crisp dry finish.  

You can't go wrong with this one at a BBQ, party, Beach Day, or just backyard gathering.  It wont knock your socks off, but it will be a solid crowd pleaser!  CHEERS!
