Blueberry Smoothie IPA
Untitled Art

As soon as I poured this from a 16 ounce can into a snifter glass, the color surprised me. It's sort of a light reddish purple with some particles of presumably fruit floating throughout. For some reason I was expecting it to look like a traditional hazy IPA but it really looks like a blueberry smoothie. Smell isn't strong, but has aromas of hops and fresh blueberries. It has a delicious smoothie flavor, too, with blueberries, sweet cream, and other sweet berries mixed with some bitter American hops that help cut down the sweetness and blend in with the beeriness better. Some subtle long bitterness lingers after the sip. The mouthfeel is very creamy, a bit rich, and a lot more medium-bodied than most IPAs. They even got the mouthfeel down with the smoothie theme, it isn't chunky and thick like a real smoothie, but it's as close as a beer could get, I would imagine. This ticks all the right boxes. Has some sweetness, some fruitiness, but also hoppiness and bitterness, and a subtle hint of pine. I'm glad I was able to pick up a can at the discount rack at my local store. I hope I can pick up a pack before it's limited availability runs out. This is definitely a unique must-try beer, I highly recommend you pick it up if you get the chance.

 

A beautiful hazy brew with bits of funk floating around . Not too much either way and very well balanced! Great job !

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on October 23, 2018. Untitled Art specifically says this is not a milkshake IPA. There are nice notes of blueberry and lactose. It also has a smoothie feel to it. Worth a try.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16oz can, snifter glass. Murky brownish red body, one finger frothy light pink head, good retention, lots of lacing. Smell is crisp blueberry juice, not much tartness, a bit of lactose sweetness, mild grain, followed by a bit of earthy and herbal aromas. Flavour follows; a nice sweet lactose buttressed by a sweet blueberry flavour, light grainy cracker sweetness lingers along to the backend, mildly floral bitterness on the finish. It actually does sort of taste like a smoothie, so there is that. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, creamy, smooth carbonation, easy to drink.
