Vegan Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Eagle Park Brewing

 

 

Great looking hazy deep golden brew with a head that quickly faded to a ring. Wonderful pineapple cherry nose, top notch. Decent flavor leans sweet and quite pineapple with a slight citra bitter ending. Thick and low carbonation, did I say thick. Good stuff anyway.

I have given up milkshake style IPAs, but once I saw on Tavour that it was 1) Eagle Park and 2) pineapple upside down cake, I had to say yes. Damn good beer. Definite flavors of pineapple and cherry, with a vanilla undercurrent. Dry finish, good alcohol presence, crisp. Really liked this one.

 

Sampled in a taster glass from draft at Eagle Park Brewing on September 28, 2019. Look is hazy orange gold. Smell and taste is vanilla, pineapple and cherry. Feel is medium to full in body.

 

 

Opaque dark orange, looking like carrot cake's liquid interpretation, with a fuzzy, then pock-marked khaki head collapsing quickly.

Juicy yet dank, the IPA characteristics aren't shy, and the cakey pineapple notes are there too. It fights with itself at times but is also good.

 

Pours a murky orange-brown with three fingers of sandy brown head. It lasts a long while and leaves heavy lacing.

Doughy undercooked cake, cherry and pineapple in the nose.

There’s a definite cherry-vanilla milkshake blast in this, as well as a somewhat less distinctive cake-like quality. The pineapple is comparatively restrained. It has a clear vanilla ice cream finish. It’s obviously fairly sweet, but not sickly sweet if you’re sipping at it.

Full bodied and slick feeling with zippy carbonation.

This beer delivers as advertised. Maybe it could use a pineapple garnish, but otherwise it’s as close to vegan pineapple upside down cake milkshake as I can imagine. Fun to try.
