American Double IPA brewed in collaboration with our friends at Dionysus Brewing Company. It’s brewed with strawberry, pineapple, lactose, and vanilla, and fermented with our expressive ale yeast. Packaged in its purest form, unfined and unfiltered.

Had on-tap at New Glory Brewing in Sacramento, CA
Appearance - Served up in a nonic pint, hazy and dull orange in color with a slight pinkish hue. Thin, consistent layer of suds coat the surface, thickening up slightly around the edge of the glass. Strong lacing coats the glass with thick webbing and small spotting.
Smell - Sweet, rich aroma with vanilla upfront before some sweet berry notes and lesser pineapple.
Taste - Follows the nose. Sweet vanilla hits first before sweet and tangy strawberry kicks in soon after. Malty, almost wheaty undertone. Pineapple zing emerges mid-taste adds some acidity to the mostly sweet vanilla and strawberry finish.
Mouthfeel - Medium-to-full in body with fair, tingly carbonation. Creamy texture leads to an easy, slightly dry finish.
Overall - Pretty damn good milkshake IPA. A part of me thinks it'd work better without the pineapple, though.

Given to me in a bottle share by a co-worker who lives in Sacramento and has been an active participant in the local festivities.
Released for the 2018 Sacramento Beer Week (#SBW) this double IPA milk shake is brewed with lactose to give the beer it's thick and rich mouthfeel. Mindshaker pours a beautiful dark orange with a tint of pink and some cloudiness to it. A one finger head dissipates quickly leaving some tasty lacing that clings to the glass.
The aroma is very sweet smelling, especially as it warms, like fields of strawberries with a flavorful hint of natural vanilla on the nose. For a double IPA, there is almost no hop characteristic, resin or pine associated with this beer.
Taste is unlike the aroma. It's damn near like drinking a strawberry/pineapple milkshake, as the description on the can says. The flavor is incredible on the palette, think, creamy, rich and very smooth, with nothing lingering. For a double IPA, it's hard to distinguish the hops in Mindshaker.
If you can find it, I recommend it!
