Vanilla Shakes from Hitchhiker. Purchased from Franklin Beer, Franklin, PA, 26/04/25. 16 fl oz can, $4.50 (Including tax), $ 0.281/fl oz. Reviewed 02/05/25 (Review 3521). Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
Stamped on bottom corner of label “01/08/25.” Stored in reefer at the distributor, 39 degrees F at home; served at 44.7 degrees F in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter. The final temperature is 49.8 degrees F.
Appearance – 4
First pour – Medium Amber (SRM 12), clear.
Body – Amber Brown (SRM 18), opaque. Under direct light, same. When rear-lite, glows deep amber-red.
Head – Average (Maximum 3.5 cm, aggressive center pour). Beige, medium density, average retention, collapsing to a 0.5 – 0.8 cm toothed crown and a thin, partial cap.
Lacing – Fair. Drag marks of tiny to near-microscopic bubbles.
Aroma – 3 – Weak roasted malt and some hints of coffee. No yeast, no hops, no char, no alcohol, no vanilla.
Flavor – 3 – Begins slightly bitter with coffee and roasted malt. No yeast, hops. No alcohol (5.9 % ABV, according to the label). No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl. Ends on the dry side. No gastric warming.
Palate – 3.75 – Medium: watery: soft carbonation.
Style: Follows the loose style guidelines as condensed by BA.
Final impression and summation: 3.5 Uncredited label artist. Uninspired coffee drink sans vanilla.
