Anyone else not a fan of the milkshake IPAs?

[QueefLatina]

Maybe it's just my personal taste but I am having trouble getting into this milkshake IPA fad. It's too sweet and strange of a flavor combination for me, even the ones that Tired Hands makes that are highly rated. IPA's with vanilla in them are just not my thing.

Respect tacos,

It was the worst fad going until some dipshit and his gaggle of mentally soft followers decided that Barleywine is life.

Now I just place it between them and godawful pastry stouts.

The whole milkshake anything is an abomination.

I was at a brewery and they had a "Custom Milkshake Blends" menu.

 

[QueefLatina]

Yeah, I don't mind a fruited IPA, but lactose, vanilla and whatever else they add to it make the beer overly sweet and fake tasting to me. Just give me an IPA where you used yeast to bring out crazy flavors and I'll appreciate it a lot more.

I don't understand milkshake IPAs but mostly because every time I've had one they don't even taste particularly different than a regular IPA. Maybe my taste buds are poor.

Same here. Also they never smell like anything to me. I like my IPAs to smell like an IPA.

Agreed, I want to smell hoppy goodness.

I like how Omnipollo always escape getting the blame for these.

Haha Omnipollo "dreamt up" the idea, but Tired Hands created the hype. I'd take a regular Tired Hands IPA or DIPA over a milkshake IPA any day, their hoppy stuff is really awesome.

 

[user 312341]

Not a fan. One of the vanilla cans wasn't awful but it was shared, and a Midwest pour (or whatever the hell it's called) was plenty for me. I share the same opinions as you regarding taste etc.

Maybe we're doing it wrong. Maybe it tastes better if you put the effort into placing a folding chair on/in the line and all the jazz that comes with it.

 

[oakwoodaged]

Agreed

 

[cyde]

I'm still waiting for barrel aged DDH milkshake pilsners to make their debut. When did they start making beer for children?

 

[steimie]

I've tried a lot of the turbid milkshakey things and I have yet to find one that I like anywhere near as much as a fresh Two Hearted.

 

[stakem1]

Worry not, its just a phase that will soon pass.

Fresh Two Hearted is great. I have heard it exists. Bells hits San Diego but there is some law where it has to be 3 months old minimum.

 

[PSUMike]

I've only had one. It was Tired Hands Double Extra Vanilla and I thought it was undrinkable. It smelled fantastic but it was so incredibly over the top sweet that I couldn't get down more than a mouthful. No thanks.

 

[TommyShitt]

Anyone else not a fan of a niche discussion that didn't need its own thread and could easily be discussed in Random Beer Thoughts?

 

[Padraig]

Anything to break up the monotony of DDT threads on the main page is alright in my book.

No-one was a fan of that breakfast milkshake IPA

Dude, same. I got extra Vanilla and couldn't finish a whole can, too much of a sweet mess.

This "beer style" needs to die ASAP

I'm not a fan of cilantro in my tacos.

Milkshake IPAs suck.

You are probably using too much. Treat cilantro as you would salt. Just enough to accentuate the taco without being overbearing. Oh and you need fresh lime + queso fresco.

If you lived in a taco relevant part of Texas, I would value your opinion. Alas ...you do not.

There's a documentary series on Netflix called Chef's Table, in one episode they go to a Michelin star restaurant in Mexico City, I think you'd like it a lot. The head chef talks about all the different components of what goes into an amazing taco, the textures, the flavors, things that are different temperatures. Also, the science of a great Mole' sauce, which I am just starting to really get into.

***Cilantro needs to be properly washed, otherwise it tastes like dirt***

 

[GuzzleMcBrew]

Science
Some people taste a soapy flavor in Cilantro.

****ing relentless with that 2 fearted love fest

I won't lie. I dig the concept. But in a "sit my ass on a lawnchair in the summer" crusher type way rather than the lineups and mules type of way. I'm sure the fad will get to that point eventually. I also hardly consider it beer. More a beermosa type cocktail catering to baby palates.

Someone who respects tacos so much as you, I will take this advice and watch it.

The restaurant is called Pujol, and the chef is Enrique Olvera. Dude loves tequilas a lot, makes you want to eat tacos and drink tequila afterwards. My wife is really getting into ramen lately, and there's another episode in Chef's Table about a chef named Ivan Orkin, white dude who went to Japan and made a dent in the ramen scene (not easy to do), anyway I went to his new ramen shop in NYC for our anniversary and he had 3 Hill Farmstead beers on tap and a ton of sours, guy loves HF apparently.

I actually prefer my IPA's to taste like milkshakes, and my milkshake's to taste like IPA's

Are you confusing this with the Mind of a Chef series?

I saw that ramen guy on a YouTube video. He acted like a ****ing tool

Maybe? Wait Chef's Table features both Enrique Olivera and Ivan Orkin, each has their own episode.

great Mole' sauce

Mole doesn't have an accent. Or an apostrophe, for that matter.
