I’ve had A LOT of Milkshake IPAs in the last couple years. I even tell breweries I’m like the Daniel Day-Lewis of the style: “if you have a Milkshake IPA…I’ll drink it up!”

And if you’re a Milkshake fiend like me, you know the thing that separates the soft serve so-and-so’s from the soda shop gods is the hops! Arclight Brewing’s 4.29 UT-rated, mouthwateringly succulent, creamsicle daydream makes that loud and clear!  

The Michigander milkshake magicians loaded up Epsicle Layers with luscious layers of vanilla and milk sugar for a creamy, hand-spun flavor. A mountain of nectarous oranges wraps it all in citrusy bliss!

But it’s the healthy dose of Citra Hops and the absolutely slept-on Mandarina Hops that really elevate the sipper into a pinnacle of tropical complexity. They give this popsicle a tantalizing, tangy complement of candied orange peel and tangerine with refreshing pine contrast on the finish.

Each pillowy sip soars through citrusy skies brimming with silky cream clouds and bright rays of mandarin sunshine. But it’s the safe landing in vibrant waves of green grass that makes you long for another flight…or swig.
