What Our Editors Thought
"Intensely tropical fruit-and-vanilla nose with a few sweaty touches broadcasts a dessert beer. The sip isn’t as sweet as the nose suggests, its round body a touch watery. Vanilla smooths the rougher edges for drinkability."
What Our Panel Thought
"Massive tropical fruit up front—tart, with footy guava weirdness. Moderately sweet and rich; boozy tropical punch. Tart fruit and medium bitterness cut through what might have been cloying otherwise. Chewy body and sweetness are pleasantly restrained."
What the Brewers Say
"Milkshake IPA brewed with lactose and conditioned on passion fruit, guava, and vanilla beans."
