Milkshakes are great. IPAs are great! Thus the Milkshake IPA seemed worth a shot. And it didn't let me down! In all seriousness, I was a tad skeptical going in, but don't let the "milkshake" idea fool you. Live Transmission pours a hazy, golden-yellow color and gives off great citrus and coconut flavors and aromas throughout the sip. You'll notice the citrus shine through early on, especially if you let it settle for a moment. Through the end of the sip the coconut flavors reveal themselves a bit more as the beer starts to go down in a rather heavy fashion. The aftertaste is where I really do get that milkshake flavor and it's just the right amount. To that I say, cheers!

We also love fun, creative can art. I'll let you zoom in on that pic and tell me what exactly is going on, but it's certainly fun!
