Milkshake Dreams: Mango
Dionysus Brewing Company

750ml bottle from Tavour. Murky golden/amber pour, instant head subsides to patchy cap. Big fruity, tropicsl aroma, definitely mangoes. Taste brings the vanilla in, blending with lacto, rendering this a mango creamsicle. Minor bitter bite at the finish reminds you that its an IPA.

No bottling date, but I know it was recently bottled. Served from a bottle and consumed from a pint glass.
L: Pours out a golden yellow in color. Hazy and milky in complexion. Little head formation resulted from a standard pour as well as bar-none residual lacing.
S: Very pleasant. Vanilla beans are prominent followed by an abundance of milk sugar sweetness. I am getting a touch of mango on the nose, but vanilla and lactose are the stars of the show.
T: Lactose sweetness is prevalent from start to finish, which established that milkshake-y foundation from which the vanilla and mango build upon. Vanilla is tasted first with mango on the finish. Mild citrus flavor as well, namely grapefruit and lemon. The aftertaste comprises of lactose and vanilla for the majority with tinges of mango. Very pleasant tasting for what it is.
F: Light in body, light to medium in weight. Seemingly higher amounts of carbonation providing a nice lift to the beer. Smooth and easy to drink.
O: An awesome brew from Dionysus. The vanilla presence is amazing, and meshes well with the lactose. I think the mango could be emphasized to a greater degree but it is still noticeable and more importantly, enjoyable. These folks make some of my favorite "milkshake" ipas, although I am not necessarily partial to the style. As always, I am very grateful to have tried. Cheers!
