Phase Three Tropical District

On a recent trip up to Chicago, I made a point of snagging some local brews. This one is from a brewery just North of Chicago called Phase Three. This is a milkshake IPA and is a collaboration with Colorado brewery Weldwerks Brewing Co. Made with guava, coconut and lactose this one was whispering sweet nothings into my ear from the word go. The two words that seem to describe every aspect of this beer are thick and creamy. The appearance is thick and creamy ochre in the glass. The aromas are thick and creamy…definitely milkshake on the nose. And the mouth feel is very thick and creamy. Flavors are silky tropical with coconut and vanilla up front on the tongue. The powerful flavors mask the fact that this is 8.2% ABV. I found this to be an incredibly scrumptious beverage. So glad I got the four pack (wish I had gotten more now)!
