Hazy, Juicy, Pillowy, and Turbid. New England IPA’s rose from relative obscurity to become one of the most trendy and chased styles of the late ’00s. With the addition of lactose and vanilla, the sub-style of Milkshake IPA’s emerged. We decided to bro out with the haze, and produce our own version of this revered and reviled style.
This beer is more than just a flash-in-the-pan protest against IPA clarity and the Reinheitsgebot. Milkshake Duck! pours yellow gold with a soft white head. Aromas of meringue and lemon bar, with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Notes of sweet vanilla, citrus, and graham cracker give way to an Orange Julius finish.
