Barnstable Brewing Vanilla Milkshake IPA

Introducing the “Milkshake IPA Series”! Building on top of our hazy, New England IPAs, we tweaked the recipe with the goal of dialing down the extracted bitterness, increase hop-derived tropical fruit aroma, soften the mouth-feel, and add an overall subtle sweetness to the final product. This rotating IPA series will feature different types of brewing additions. We brought back the first version in this rotating series: the Vanilla Milkshake IPA, brewed with lactose and fermented on top of vanilla beans imported from Mexico and Madagascar. The result of this beer is a soft, sweet IPA with complex aromas of vanilla and coconut.
