Very refreshing and tropical IPA. It really does smell like Pina Kolkata so if Pineapple and/or Coconut is not your thing then avoid this. Tropical aromas and tastebof coconut, pineapple, and Mango with light to medium carbonation. Quite drinkable

Batch #003 20:22
This beer is past its prime, but I expect it to have held up okay.
It pours a golden yellow with a small head of frothy white foam that settles slowly and leaves some spotty lace behind.
The nose gives off that “past-its-prime” nose of malty predominance. That said, tropical fruit, pineapple, and hints of vanilla still come out pretty noticeably. I think the tropical influence this beer was intended to have has helped it hold up.
A lot of the pineapple and coconut has faded .. malt coming out, hops taking the forefront. Still some fruity subtleties, light vanilla and some very mild creaminess from what lingering lactose was left.
Still a good mouthfeel, soft carb and a lightly sticky finish.

It tastes exactly like a pina colada. Tons of fresh pineapple and coconut flavor with nice creaminess. How is this an IPA? I have no idea. At least it didn't have overwhelming vanilla sweetness like most milkshake IPAs.

Tasted in a Rastal Teku from a one pint can on September 10, 2018. India pale ale brewed with lactose, pinapple and coconut. Nice blend of flavors without being too sweet.
