Well-designed milkshake-styled IPA (with less appropriate 'Imperial' labeling) brings lactic powder-sugared marshmallow vanilla sweetness to zestful lemony orange-peeled grapefruit tang, tart guava-gooseberry swipe and peachy pineapple zing, becoming bitterer as lemon-seeded grapefruit rind sharpness rises way above its creamily oated wheat base.
On tap at Pompton Craft House, sunshiny tropical fruiting glazes zestfully creamed milkshake-inspired IPA. Conditioned on Madagascar vanilla beans and swayed by lactic marshmallow sugaring atop heavily oated wheat, surging summertime spree invites sweet orange peel-splashed lemony grapefruit misting and tangy pineapple, mango and guava wisps for so-called "Northeast-styled Imperial." Excellent.
Impressive pumpkin-spiced milkshake IPA retains mild marshmallow vanilla creaming for wintry powder-sugared cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger seasoning as well as delightful pineapple-coconut Pina Colada sweetness (and peachy Orangina respite), leaving IPA-styled piney grapefruit bittering in the dust.
