Pixacao Tropical IPA

This International Pale Ale with coconut and cassava root was created by Stillwater Artisanal from North Haven, CT. When I saw the cassava root as one of the ingredients, I has to check this one out. Can’t say as I have ever tried cassava root before so I was curious. I love coconut but had no idea what the cassava root would add to the equation. The beer pours a gorgeous, thick, golden opaque with a very generous head formation. The aroma has a sweet, creamy kind of stone fruit thing going on. The mouthfeel is wonderfully thick and creamy as well. Flavors must focus on the cassava root as I do not really detect much coconut going on. I love it. Guess I will need to go try some actual cassava so I can understand the flavor more. This is a very quality IPA. Don’t understand what an “International” IPA is but who cares when the result is this good.
