A 1 pint can, canned on 5th July 2022. Poured into a winebar glass.

Appearance: A hazy murky orange pinkish colour with a one finger dark orange head that dissipated fairly quickly, while leaving sparse to no lacing.

Aroma: Guava, coconut, papaya, orange, with some cream soda notes.

Taste: Sweet, tropical fruit forward, coconut, guava, pineapple, orange, vanilla, and some booze.

Mouthfeel: Creamy, medium bodied, with soft carbonation.

Overall: The aroma was nice and I would love to see guava in beer more. But perhaps the combination of the sweet, richness and some booze, did not make it entirely easy drinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16 ounce can into a tulip snifter. Had 9/9/19.

Pours a bright, hazy orange, with a fluffy two inch head and a good amount of foamy lacing. Aromas of orange, guava, coconut, lactose that gives it a creamy aroma, light vanilla. Flavors are similar- cream, guava, less orange than the nose, some vanilla and coconut. A decent amount of earthy/herbal hop bitterness throughout. Smooth, refreshing, a very good lighter body, well carbonated.

Terrific aroma, the add- ins are very distinct, great flavor. Has a surprising amount of bitterness for a milkshake IPA, but it works well. Thoroughly enjoyable.

 

 

 

A bit faded on the adjuncts. Orange/yellow, cloudy, big creamy white head. Strong smell of coconut, vanilla, guava, and citrusy orange. Taste has all of those-coconut and guava on the forefront, some orange and lemon and vanilla underneath. Light to medium body, creamy milkshake feel, definite booze presence. Giving the taste a quarter point more than it is now because I remember being more impressed with the strength and balance of the flavors a few weeks ago.

 

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on August 2, 2019. Brewed in collaboration with Weldwerks Brewing Company. Milkshake IPA brewed with guava, coconut and lactose. Hopped with Mosaic and Sabro. Decent.

Semi-opaque orange body with a finger of fluffy white foam. Smells has sweet coconut, passion fruit, vanilla, and a finishing note of lush guava. Taste brings these flavors to fruition within a sweet and creamy matrix, plus add some slight minerality to balance, a touch of star fruit thrown in too. Finishes simultaneously sickly sweet and bitter, balancing together. Feel is frothy, creamy, bright, and sweet but not all the way to cloying, nice milkshake body. The wife liked it more than I did.
