Follow Your Nose

This “Loopy Fruity” Milkshake IPA from Ohio brewery Nowhere in Particular shouted out to me at my local craft beer seller. Brewed with orange, lemon, lime, strawberry, vanilla and lactose, I was intrigued to see what the flavors would end up like. This beer is incredibly dense. The color is a dark orangish-brown. The orange and the vanilla shine on the nose with maybe a touch of the strawberry showing in the distance. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy. I do not really taste the lemon or the lime. For me it is mainly the orange and vanilla with a hint of the strawberry. My assumption is that the name, Loopy Fruity, is supposed to be a play on Fruit Loops cereal…I did not think it tasted anything like the cereal from my youth, but for that I am glad as I do not care for those old sugar infusions. This was it’s own thing and a damn good thing it is.
