Lightly hazed, bright golden/orange-ish coloring, sizable and lasting ivory head.
In the nose: Sweet apricot notes first. Nothing but sweet and mellow.
In the mouth: Cool, smooth, well-balanced fruit, mixed with lovely vanilla. Barest hint of bitterness. Light/medium bodied. Apricot flavor is on the light side, too. You can taste it, all mixed up with the vanilla, but it isn't terribly strong.
Do you need much apricot, though. Subtlety can be a strong suit.
The second iteration of the Scoopshot, after the pineapple, the milkshake IPA without the milk, which debuted last April. I like it fine, and I can drink it, but I'd rather have the IPA that's underneath all that vanilla and fruit. That's just me. I like beer that tastes like beer. Good thing they make some of that, too.
OUR TAKE ON THE MILKSHAKE IPA EXCEPT WE SKIPPED THE LACTOSE (YOU ARE WELCOME, OUR LACTOSE INTOLERANT FRIENDS.) BUT THIS THING STILL TASTES LIKE IT HAS A SCOOP OF ICE CREAM IN IT, WITH A HEALTHY DOSE OF APRICOT AND VANILLA, TO COMPLEMENT THE FRUITY HOPS AND YEAST. LOOK FOR THIS ONE TO BE A NEW REGULAR OCCURRENCE ON OUR MENU!
