Tropical Milkshake IPA
Preyer Brewing Company

 

 

Pours into a mug a somewhat murky kind of burnt orange tinged golden with a thinner but well sustained slight off white head atop.The guava and lime zest come thru in the nose with a bit of sweet caramel showing itself as well.The tropical fruit flavors smash the taste buds,guava,grapefruit, and lime with underlying sweet toasted cereal grains,slight bitterness in the finish.Lighter in the mouth it goes down real easy,I don't get the milkshake part as much as in the strawberry,and peach versions but I like it.

 

A: Pours a lightly hazy medium to dark burnt copper in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate golden yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall foamy beige head that slowly reduces to a couple of small medium thick patches surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Slightly heavier than moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of juicy tropical/guava and citrus/lime zest over the top of lighter aromas of vanilla and lactose sweetness over the top of light aromas of biscuit malts.

T: Upfront there is a light to moderate flavor of biscuit malts with a slightly heavier than light amount of lactose sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of vanilla with slightly stronger than moderate flavors of juicy tropical/guava and citrus/lime zest. Light to moderate flavors of citrus/grapefruit pith hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away very quickly which leaves a light lingering tropical fruit flavor.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Creamy with a hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with nice tropical fruit and lime flavors and well hidden alcohol. Enjoyable.
