Milkshake IPA - Pineapple Mango
BrickStone Restaurant & Brewery

 

 

Taste: Sweet vanilla, mango, Pineapple, honey, creamy mouth, gentle hops. Same with the nose. honey color hue, Unfiltered with white head and nice ringed lace. Medium to full body. Tropical fruits with a milky finish, easy IPA to drink.

 

Thanks @satch44. Can poured into a goblet. Mango and Pineapple are very heavy notes on the nose. The vanilla is an aftertaste but is very strong. Mellows out as I drank the beer, but was still present on the last sip. Creamy and smooth like a creamsicle but the overabundance of vanilla drops the rating for me. If this was a little more balanced it would have been a tropical treat!

 

Another gift from FloorMatt. Thanks man!

Liquid yeast blended with orange juice body with a thin, frothy white foam with decent retention and lacing.

Sugar cookie dough aroma with abundant vanilla and tropical fruits. Smells like an Orange Julius with a slap of bitter peel.

Wow. This really does taste like one too. Orange and vanilla creamsicle with a noticeable pineapple finish. Sweet confectioners sugar base, but once again shows off some pithy bite and even the slightest but of pine.

Creamy smooth, definitely sweet, but has a touch of bitterness to almost balance. Easy to diminish, that's for sure, especially with a slightly dry finish and well hidden abv.

I'd say this is well executed for the style. BrickStone continues to impress.

Cheers.

 

Canned 1/25/19; drank 2/23/19 @ the Yarchives.

Opaque dull orange appearance.

A violent pour yielded a big eggshell head; frothy lace.

Mango, watermelon Jolly Rancher & mild pine notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Mango & mild pine flavors up front; watermelon Jolly Rancher & mild dry grass notes on the finish. No booze heat.

A bit too dry/pine-y for the style; it's drinkable but not one to track down.

 

 

Huge aroma of mango (peach), pineapple and citrus. Taste totally follows. Very fruity upfront with no discernible hops, then the hops kick in after a moment. Rather thin mouth feel, but balanced. Finishes off with a rather loud vanilla component. I'd have liked this beer a lot more with the vanilla toned down, but I guess that's why the call it "milkshake". Not a regular beer for me.

Had on tap. The feel is spot on, creamy, fluffy and smooth. Smell is sugary vanilla bathed mango, pineapple, hops and yeast. Taste was too sweet for me to enjoy a who pint of, wanted more fruit tang, instead got tons of vanilla, sugar covered pineapple and mango, some candy peach, and then light hops. Not bad, but wanted the tropical fruit juice in the front with the sweetness supporting.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a 12 fl oz can on February 7, 2019. The first version of the Shak’d Up Series. Milkshake IPA Pineapple and Mango is a fruity IPA brewed with real Madagascar vanilla, lactose sugar, pineapple and mango. An extra creamy and perfectly smooth body compliments the juicy notes of fresh fruit and hops.

 

12 ounce can, dated January 2...something. It is smudged together. Poured into tulip pours a rosy gold with a short lived head. Speckled lacing though. Mango, vanilla, and some orange creamsicle thing going on here. Taste follows the nose. Orange, pineapple, mango, vanilla, sweet cream. Creamy, silky body.
Everything labeled on the can is delivered. I think it’s a touch too much vanilla but overall everything works.
