For our latest Milkshake IPA, we decided to simplify things and just focus on the key elements: vanilla beans, milk sugar, and hops. So we blended up some of the finest Citra and Mosaic hops we could get with a big ole dollop of silky milk sugar and then topped it off with a blend of our favorite Veracruz Mexican and Papua New Guinea vanillas. We gotta say, this is our favorite Milkshake IPA yet! So much yumminess! Creamy, dreamy, and delightful!

Snuck over to Windmill Farms for some North Park beers and a few others. Their website called it “For our latest Milkshake IPA, we decided to simplify things and just focus on the key elements: vanilla beans, milk sugar, and hops.

Poured a light golden hazy color with two fingers of frothy off-white head. Could see a few bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class uneven foamy lacing. Excellent retention. (Sight - 4.25)
Smelled vanilla, sugary milk, Mosaic, Citra, mixed berry and floral. Hops coming in even more strong from the can. (Smell - 4.25)
Tasted about as good as the nose. Vanilla leads the way, followed by sugary milk, Mosaic, Citra, mixed berry, mixed berry ice cream and floral. (Taste - 4.25)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, smooth finish. (Feel - 4.50)
I have to say I liked this much more than I thought I would. I haven’t had many, but probably the best milkshake IPA I’ve had. Excellent. (Overall - 4.25)
