Milkshake IPA - Cacao Pod Juice
Tired Hands Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

Had this beer on tap at the Brew Cafe.
L - pours a hazy orange with a white head.
S - Smells of vanilla and tropical fruits.
T - Tastes of vanilla, pineapple and lime with some cocoa powder on the finish.
F - Medium body and carbonation.
O - Tasty milkshake IPA.

This is a very nice IPA both in terms of aroma and flavor but I do not taste any of the cocoa in it. Much like the other milkshakes, the flavoring is barely noticeable and the beer tastes like a "simple" IPA.

From draft at TH. From the tap list: “Milkshake IPA 7.2% Our latest heavily amplified psychedelic riff on THE boundary-pushing Culinary IPA series. Brewed with gobs of oats, and lactose sugar. Conditioned atop of luscious Madagascar vanilla beans, and fresh cacao pod juice. Intensely hopped and dry hopped with Mosaic and Citra. Dreamt up in tandem with our sweet angel life mates at Omnipollo from Sweden. Notes of vanilla fudge, starfruit, Charleston chew, and Gewürztraminer.” I didn’t catch the flavors noted on the tap list, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
