Guess what y’all? The Broad Ripple Village Association is
turning 175, which is straight insane in my mind, especially since I’ve just
been kicking it around the Ripple for twenty some years. Best way to celebrate
that anny is Broad Ripple Brew Pub style with their new creation, the BRV 175.
The BRV 175 is a full-bodied amber with a bit of a twist to
it. Instead of that characteristic tangy amber taste, this has more of a deep
malty flavor with a sweet after taste. I guess I kind of picture ambers to be
the perfect balance between browns, hefeweizens and pale ales, the lights and
the darks. This is a unique take, the opposite end of the amber spectrum, instead
of starting sweet and ending tangy / sour, this starts malty and ends sweet.
