A Note on This Beer
I’ll just keep this short and sweet — and get the hell out of your way so you can snatch up today’s Vanilla-Coconut Milkshake IPA while there’s still some left!
Let’s not beat around the bush, because coconuts and vanilla beans don’t even grow on bushes. But Barrier’s Kickin’ Knowledge: Toasted Coconut is the creamy original that kicked off a whole 4+ rated series. Each beer in this series from New York’s kings-of-collabs is a home run.
There’s desperation in the “In Search Of” posts popping up all over social media as well. Barrier just isn’t making enough of Kickin’ Knowledge to satisfy the thirsty mobs of fans exponentially growing with every release.
The trades are getting out of hand too. There’s no question the beer is fantastic, but we never expected to see folks offering up 4 cans of Other Half or 6 cans of Holy Mountain for just one can of Barrier!
Maybe that's why scoring a can feels like winning the tropical-hop lottery. Haze fiends that managed to get some are bragging all over the web like they’re some kind of big ballers or something — the confidence that this beer brings is crazy.
Maybe it’s because of Kickin’ Coconut’s creamy citrus sweetness — fans’ delighted taste buds are telling them they’ve struck it beer-rich! As they sip it slowly, a zesty zing of citrus from super-flavorful Mosaic, Motueka, and Citra Hops entertains their palates. Those citrusy notes mingle with real vanilla and coconut that the brewers added to the blend.
The combination of hops and desserty ingredients delivers the sweet and tangy flavors of coconut cream pie topped with fluffy lemon meringue whipped-cream. Drink it down and revel in its smooth, downable, milkshake-thick body.
It tastes like… I don’t know what it tastes like, my taste buds have never actually been privy to a citrus-kissed vanilla-coconut milkshake in an IPA before — it tastes awesome, that’s what it tastes like!
*Treat yourself and pour Kickin’ Knowledge: Toasted Coconut into your fanciest IPA glass, they’re designed to amplify the aromas of vibrant tropical beers like this.
