Pumpkin Chai Latte Double Milkshake IPA is the nonsensical furthering of our genre defining Culinary IPA series. Brewed with heavy amounts of fresh sweet pumpkin purée, fluffy malted oats and red wheat. Hopped and dry hopped intensely with hand selected Citra and Mosaic. Conditioned atop a melange of Madagascar vanilla beans, fresh ginger, Ceylon black tea, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Man... this is absolutely Fall in a can. As strange as it sounds, I think we may have found the perfect overlay of flavor for our creamy goopy Double Milkshake base. Beautiful and seasonally appropriate notes of creamy fluffy chai latte, graham cracker crust, mango chutney, whipped topping, pumpkin pie, and deep deep tropical pineapple.

L - massive offwhite head atop a murky orange body.
S - cinnamon, nutmeg, grapefruit, tea, herb.
T - Chai is very accurate. I don’t get any pumpkin, but I do get cinammon, vanilla, cardamom, lactose, and brown sugar. Low bitterness. Low sweetness. Low booziness.
F - medium body and carb.
O - mislabeled as a pumpkin beer. Chai though, absolutely.

Poured chilled from a can dated 9/23/25 (2 weeks fresh) into a 16oz pint glass.
Appearance is hazy pale amber with a 1-finger head that recedes slowly. Decent amount of lacing on the glass.
Aroma is piny hops, vanilla, faint tea, mild tropical fruit, stone fruit, ginger. Very fragrant and nice.
Taste follows the nose with tangerine, ginger, vanilla, pineapple, allspice, alcohol is detected, faint cinnamon, there is tea in there, brown sugar. Im not getting much of the pumpkin, but pumpkin pie spice is layered in here.
Mouthfeel is medium-full. Creamy and pillowy. Very smooth. Punch of sweet up front with some balance on the back via suble hoppiness and warming alcohol.
Overall, this is delectable. Im a Chef and really enjoy Tired Hands' culinary IPA series. This is really delicious. It is a big beer with a full amount of flavor and alcohol. Can get away from you if youre not careful. Will be getting this again.

Pours a murky light peach color with a modest head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is citrus, chai and vanilla. The tea profile comes through quite nicely. Taste is nicely balanced, with citrus and chai being foremost. Pumpkin may exist but it is very light and almost entirely obscured. This is rightfully called delicious and is honestly hard to put down. Nicely done!

What went into the brewing of this gourmet beer proves why Tired Hands is one of our very best craft brewers. The beer is almost the color of pumpkin, and consider the chai latte flavor nailed. Dessert in a glass, bringing you to Thanksgiving, cornucopias, falling leaves and pumpkin picking with every sip. This is art.

Pours a hazy, pumpkin-hued peach juice color with three fingers of lasting antique-white foam head. It slowly diminishes to leave a mountainous island in the center of a creamy, thin cap and nice webbed lacing.
The aroma is pretty darn normal. Tropical fruit mostly with some white pepper behind. There maybe a little allspice, but nothing I would have pegged blind as pumpkin or chai or latte or a milkshake.
Sweet damn, it’s all there in the taste though! Pumpkin flesh, allspice, extra cinnamon, extra nutmeg, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, a good wallop of vanilla and plenty of alcohol. It’s sweet and intense. There’s also a fairly strong metallic element mixing with tea-like earthy bitterness in the aftertaste.
The mouthfeel is quite full with moderate carbonation cutting through nicely.
Looks and feels great; smells pretty good; way over-spiced to my taste and the metallic thing isn’t to my preference either.

I'm not generally a fan of pumpkin beers but I am a fan of Tired Hands Milkshake beers so I was happy to have this one.
Pours a hazy golden orange with two fingers of white head.
Initially when I popped the top I didn't get any pumpkin or spice notes, it was all citrus hoppy goodness. After pouring, it opened up a bit and the pumpkin and spice were there along with a bit if vanilla.
Taste is interesting, hoppy citrus IPA at first with a flavor that transitions to pumpkin pie. I like pumpkin pie! Pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, notes of allspice linger.
Medium to full body with a creamy feel. Good carb levels and low alcohol presence for the ABV.
Overall a tasty variation on an IPA. I'm still not going to run out and try every pumpkin beer I see but I did enjoy this one.
