Breakfast Shake is a Triple IPA brewed with lactose sugar, banana, and strawberry. Pouring a beautiful mild pink color into your glass, it presents with a potent aroma and eye-catching appeal.
The flavor follows suit with notes of strawberry banana, ripe citrus, strawberry sorbet, and tropical fruit with a rich and velvety body. A beautiful juicy hop character from Barbe Rouge and Citra hops carries the flavor profile throughout, though it never overwhelms your palate.
Breakfast Shake is a hugely enjoyable beverage whose flavor profile is derived from simple ingredients working in harmony with our refined Triple IPA brewing practice. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Pours a hazy, almost turbid, pineapple color with a creamy oatmeal colored head that provides substantial lacing. The nose includes strawberry, tropical citrus, and a smidge of banana.
The taste features more banana, but the strawberry and tropical citrus flavors are the stars of this beer, along with a creamy oat finish. The beer was definitely not too sweet, a concern I had going in.
The mouthfeel is full and soft, as expected. Glad I got a chance to try this.

A little much for my tastes. Came with a pkg and I am glad I tried it as the pkgs allow me to try beers I might not otherwise.

Can from Jeff, thanks for thinking of me.
Opaque hazy creamed oatmeal is the best descriptor I can find. With bubbly white head that shows great retention. Citrus and tropical fruits with hints of berry and banana. Sweetish smoothie but not cloying, Interesting and tasty.

Picked-up a four-pack of cans at Tree House in Sandwich for about twenty four dollars. Canned on date of 2/17/23. My three hundred and third brew from these guys. Well maybe, but I don't think bananas have a place in beer.

Canned 2/17/23. "Most important meal of the day" stamped on the bottom of the can
Oh man, this one sounds extremely decadent. A strawberry banana adjuncted TIPA? That sounds awesome. I already get a bit of a strawberry banana vibe from Perfect Storm and that's one of my favorite Tree House beers, so I'm very excited to see what they can pull off with this one. Let's find out
Pours an opaque milky yellow with 3 fingers of creamy off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves decent lacing
The banana is the most prevalent note in the nose, with the strawberry playing more of a support role along with all the other notes. I'm picking up on aromas of banana smoothie, vanilla bean, peach, juicy strawberry, doughy malt, grassy hops, papaya, and light orange juice
It's better integrated in taste, truly giving the strawberry banana hybrid flavor I was hoping for. On the front end of the sip I'm tasting overripe banana, juicy strawberry, vanilla ice cream, doughy malt, pineapple, orange juice, light papaya, and mango sorbet. The swallow brings notes of banana smoothie, juicy strawberry, doughy malt, vanilla bean, orange zest, grassy hops, light papaya, and mango sorbet
A medium full body pairs with gentle carbonation, resulting in a slick, smoothie-like beer. Finishes neutral and very fruity
This one is definitely pushing the limits of even being an IPA, but it's a limit I'm fine with being pushed. It's not for everyone, but this is one hell of a fun beer

16oz can.
Pours turbid gold with an inch of dense white head. Persistent retention with plenty of spongy lacing. Banana, strawberry, orange, peach in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft, creamy mouthfeel. Juicy tropicals on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Lactose is barely evident with just a hint of vanilla and the beer is not overly sweet. Finishes ripe and juicy with lingering banana and strawberry.

Had on tap at Sandwich. Pours milky, gold in color with one inch head. Smell is bad cleaning product. Taste is better strawberry, banana, vanilla. Heavy body, sweet, medium low carbonation. The smell kills me on this one. Mercifully the taste is better but is still rough around the edges. Breakfast Juice is infinitely better
