Another beer I brought home from my trip to South Western Ontario. Milkshake IPA (IPA's with the addition of lactose sugars) are gaining popularity with brewers. This is another offering from Cowbell's Renegade on-off series. Onto our beer.
Pours a cloudy lemonade-gold with a white head made up of small bubbles. Aroma is citrus and mango with underlying hints of toast and grain. First sip is a medley of sweet tropical fruit. Mango and pineapple dominate with other underlying hints of citrus. It takes until the second sip for the sweet lactose creaminess to kick in. Not overpowering but a second texture in the taste. Aeration spikes a malty grainy note with hints of spicy hops. Finish takes on a mango ice cream feeling and a lingering candy sweetness on the tongue.
Impressions: Fail, So-so, Pass, Exceptional
Cost: 5/6 PASS
Colour: 5/6 PASS
Beer Style: 5/6 PASS
Re-Order: 5/6 PASS
Experience: 5/6 PASS
Final Thoughts:
Pretty good but not a stand out. I'm still on the fence because I have had maybe 3 Milkshake IPAs so far, So I'm mainly going on what I would like to see in one of these beers. Drinkable, and enjoyable, not memorable.
