What's on the Can: "This is not a 'Milkshake', it's a 'Juice Shake NE DIPA'! What's that? First we start with an amazing base beer that was developed to make pineapple flavors through triple dry hopping, then we added loads of actual pineapple!  Keep Cold, Drink Fresh. Unfiltered and super hoppy, sediment is normal so let it settle and leave it behind. Always pour into a glass. Cheers LCB Brewmaster!"

Where distributed: Local Craft Beer can be found in California.

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy orange-peach-colored into a pint glass. Unfiltered; lots of sediment at the bottom of the can. White head; some lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Lots of tropical pineapple with good malt backbone. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): More resiny pineapple at the start, with tropical pineapple and other citrus finishing out the experience. Aftertaste is all pineapple. It lives up to its name. Very low bitterness, as advertised by the 10 IBU. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Creamy and juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding Double IPA. Wonderful pineapple presence here, no mistaking it. Also pairs well with spicy salsa, an added bonus. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.463/5
