Standard haze. Lush fruit nose, almost overripe. Taste is much better: citrus and peach with some faint orange peel. Appreciate the creamy mouthfeel from the lactose. Solid DIPA, wish it were fresher.

 

Creamy, sweet, very flavorful. Definitely want to get more of this brewery. Well made.

 

Juicy, rounded, smooth and rich, Frost Beer Works' double hazy IPA is indeed lush.

Richly textured to the eye, a patient pour of golden orange leads to a pastel puddin' looking pour. As a slow froth pulls from the beer, the bold scent of citrus and tropical fruit grow on the nose while a follow of soft citronella soon follow. Sweet and creamy on the tongue, flavors of vanilla wafer, poundcake, cereal and cream seem smoothie-like.

As the flavors churn over the tastebuds, a swirls of orange, mango, apricot, peach and clementines create a creamsicle effect while the creamy sweetness from cereal grain remain stubbornly in support. As a fine bitterness rises, herbal suggestions of verbena, sun tea, hemp and spruce add a light gin-like sense of botanicals.

Full, creamy and plush throughout, the ale resists much fade to dryness or crispness in order to celebrate that creamsicle character right down to the last, long and lumbering sip.

Hazy orange in color with thick white head. Head faded to nice sticky lacing. Nose is citrusy, but nothing jumps out. Taste was a bit odd, almost chemically initially, then a berry flavor popped out. Nice bitterness at the end.

From a can dated 5/10/24. The lactose is subtle and the nose and palate are pleasantly tropical. Very smooth finish as one might expect with the lactose.

16oz can dated 9/8/23.

Pours cloudy gold with an inch of white fluff. Moderate retention and lacing. Peach, mango, hint of lemon-lime in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Juicy citrus on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Mango, orange, and peach. Finishes ripe and juicy.

Pint can in a tulip IPA glass. Canned 3 weeks ago.

Orange creamsicle look, dense. Fluffy 1f white cap, lasting film, sticky splash lacing.

Orange and tropical fruit aromas, melon, mango, and sweet pineapple. Malted milk.

Creamsicle flavor, orange, cream, juice, and a dose of lactose laced malt.

Smooth medium body. Juicy, creamy, a touch sweet. Dry hop finish.

Quite good version of juicy lactose neipa. The flavors and mouthfeel meld together nicely.

Good stuff. Takes Lush and makes it creamier with lactose.

Canned 5/31/23. Picked up in Winooski VT!
Big Lush fan, the band and the beer, so this is a treat. Interesting that they added lactose for mouthfeel. I get it. Nice touch and a tasty DIPA as always from Frost!

Frost Beer Works IPA Imperial / Double
Notes:

Incredibly smooth and lush feel, the dose of lactose really works with this sweet, tropical fruity hop complexity. Chunky mango and pineapple crushes. Dry and bitter leafy hop undertones keeps it IPA real. Depth of complexity and Mouthfeel is huge.
