Want to blow your friends' minds? Tell them you have a Strawberry Frosted Pastry IPA in your fridge — and you had it flown in from New York — that should get their attention.

To be clear, this pastry chef beer isn’t a party trick, it’s the real deal and it’s made with the same flourish that’s turned Decadent Ales into a hunted craft beer phenomenon. These guys wanted to replicate the nostalgic flavors of a strawberry pop tart and they used hops to help make it happen. (They also used real berries, cinnamon and allspice - say what?!?)

You remember that vanilla frosted layer? Check. That gooey, strawberry center? Check. That crumbly biscuity shell? Double check. All this from the addition of real strawberries! And the hops not only augment the fruit, but they help control the sweetness. The mouthfeel is soft and the finish is just setting you up for the next sip.

Decadent achieves pure mastery here and you and your friends can recreate the child-like glee of mowing down a whole box of pop tarts by mowing down a six pack of this one-of-a-kind beer. Grab your phone for a few pics, you'll want to immortalize the moment!
