Liquid Tender Milkshake IPA
Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company

Tall can direct from the source..."canned on 11/20/19" stamped towards the bottom.

Clouded pour, with a dull plummy kinda hue, leaving moderate ringed and spotty lacing.

Ripe fruit on the nose with dark berries coming to mind.

Smooth and on the thicker as it flows through the mouth.

I get some more dark berry notes, mild plums and ripe stone fruits in general.....tasty, well crafted and well worth a try.....

IPA - but rather, hops vs plums. Plums win. Interesting beer, but nothing to write home about.

Thanks to JLindros for sharing this can.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy pink gold hue with a very fizzy soda head that faded immediately.

S - Aromas of potpourri, genetic fruit, flashes of grassy hops, decent malt, no lactose. Up front has a dirty dish water as well.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with candle level candy plum and potpourri. There is a decent amount candy like sweetness. Not a great deal of lactose either and what's there is like a sour milk taste.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, body is thin and almost oily.

O - Overall this was an incredibly disappointing beer. I have to echo the other reviewer...why was this beer even released let alone for charity? Come on...you're better than this. Absolutely terrible.

Serving Type: can

Canned 11/20/19
Pours a smaller fizzy head with lower retention, very hazy murky even pink reddish grapefruit color

Nose is weird, some grapefruit, a little pink plum but weird herbal potpourri thing, hop resin and herbal raw dry hop, musty vegetal thing

Taste is terrible, earthy piney raw resiny dry hop, bone dry and medium flowery bitterness, potpourri herbal thing, regurgitated plum, little watered down sour milk thing, gritty astringent finish

Mouth is thin watery thing, medium lower carb, astringent

Overall this is atrocious. For a terrible brewery to release this would be bad, but for exhibit a, one of the best quality breweries I know to release this?!

Ugh ... another beer which looks like the color of toilet water after someone has vomited into it. Beyond the hideous orange/pink color, this is named a milkshake IPA which contains plum puree and lactose but it drinks more like a lemonade shandy ... sweet-ish with a slight sour undertone and almost no typical IPA notes of pine or grapefruit to be had.

This is just a blah beer which you want to pour out after a sip. It has no redeeming qualities from a taste standpoint except by saying if ever I came back from a long run in the summer months, this is the beer I'd want to drink because it tastes more like a fruit punch than a beer.

At 6% alcohol, it barely packs a punch even ... and it's the first can of beer I've ever seen which has an advertisement for a bank on it. I guess the best thing you can say about this beer is that the proceeds go to a charity .. the Mass Ballet's program to get young people interested in dance.

Far be it from me to put down a charity but I would like to see more fundraising to get kids into careers where they can make a living such as math or science. And given how bad this beer tastes and looks, I don't think they will sell too many cans anyways.

Skip this.

Maybe just not for me but this was a big miss
