Insight Seven Curses of the Llewd Llama Milkshake IPA with Peruvian Golden Berries

Insight Seven Curses of the Llewd Llama Milkshake IPA with Peruvian Golden Berries. 6.1 % ABV. Insight Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Hazy as she goes, dull orange color, thick milky white head.

In the nose: Sweet, fruity...yeasty...not much else.

In the mouth: Berries, sweetness, a little bit tart, then dry. Some hoppiness, but it's drowned out all the yeast and such on the palate. Smooth, creamy, then brittle and dry. A little bit juicy. It's the sum of the parts that I'm not jiving with.

I'm absolutely at a loss as to why this exists and who it aims to please. I guess I'm out of touch. Again.

Also, what's the deal with this name? I can't imagine asking a bartender for a round of lewd llamas.

This Milkshake IPA is loaded with Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops, which deliver tropical notes of pineapple, grapefruit, and melon on the nose. Deliciously sweet and sour Peruvian Golden Berries work together with the hops and creamy texture from lactose to create an intensely satisfying and complex brew that finishes dry and keeps you coming back for more, sip after sip.
