ABV: somewhere between 3 and 8 % would be my best guess
IBU: Mid range, I'm gonna say about 40?
SRM / Coloring: Light amber to heavy red
So It's getting cold in Indiana, and then warm, and then freezing, and then wet, and then frozen again. I truly don't enjoy what global warming is doing with us at the moment. Forget about the polar bears, I'm just trying to survive at this point.
This flip flopping of the weather has me more confused than Michael Lohan at a PTO meeting, but one thing is for certain, the warm days seem way warmer as a result and the cold days seem way colder. As such, you're gonna need some beer to meet both ends of the spectrum. Fountain Square Brewing Company has got you covered for the frigid days, i.e. Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday.
Most of the time with newer anything, whether it's restaraunts or interns or breweries, you gotta give them a bit of time to really work out all the kinks. It's unrealistic to walk into a place and expect them to be exactly on point when they just recently started business. Still, with that being said, I wanted to see what the newest Indianapolis brewery had in store for the opening.
I walked inside and took a quick look at the menu, which consisted of the year round standards of Blonde, Pale Ale, Amber and Porter, but when I asked the guy behind the bar what his favorite was, he recommended the winter warmer most bodaciously. However, he warned me that it had a unique flavor with hints of spice and fruit, and that most people wouldn't go for it. Clearly he was oblivious as to whom he was speaking with.
The Winter Warmer is definitely a different twist in the beer world but definitely not in a bad way. It's a medium bodied Ale with spices of ginger and something else that I couldn't quite put my finger on. The real kicker though was the hint of rasberry that pulled the beer to the sweeter side on the end. It tasted like some kind of an exotic cookie, and a cookie that can get you a little bit intoxicated is a win win in my book.
