We’re much better suited at playing in the snow than surviving a blizzard. And since our collective exposure to the wet wintry elements is minimal, we at The Bruery and Funky Buddha decided to create our own version of snow - something pink and tropical - that we can play in as temperatures start to warm. Championing the big, bold flavors our breweries are known for, we brewed an imperial cream ale, adding lactose and vanilla for sweetness, and guava, dragonfruit and coconut for a vibrant, tropical vibe.

Poured from a vintage 2017 750 ml bottle. Aroma is fruity with guava and lighter coconut and dragonfruit notes. Light lactose notes with a bit of a muddled malt note. Pours a murky, hazy, dull, brown color with a medium large, thick pillowy white head that slowly rec Des to the edges where it lingers for a bit before disappearing. Flavor is lactose forward with light malt notes. Lots of guava and lesser amounts of coconut and dragonfruit. Quite a bit of vanilla as well. Low bitterness and moderately high sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied and creamy with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent beer, but it probably would have been better fresh. I'm a bit disappointed I forgot about this in the cellar as the fruit as started to fade but if it were bright it would be great. Reminds me a bit of a precurser to Bruesicles.

Bottle. Pours cloudy pink grapefruit, medium creamy pine head, dissipates slowly with nice lacing. Aroma is guava indeed, lactose; guava milkshake. Hints of coconut in there as well. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter. Medium body. Interesting experiment, but gets old after a while.
