Murkshake with Strawberries

Tap to rate

Murkshake with Strawberries is a murky triple IPA that returns each spring for the brewery's Strawberry Fest. It is brewed with fresh organic strawberries from a farm in northern San Diego County and finished with Tahitian vanilla bean. Ripe strawberry dominates nose and palate, softened by a gentle vanilla sweetness, while the pectin of the fruit adds a slightly tart bite. The body is thick and creamy, and a hoppy edge returns in the finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Murkshake with Strawberries

◎ Appearance

Hazy golden-amber, opaque and turbid from suspended matter and fruit pulp. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine Schaumhaftung. Carbonation is moderate, releasing small bubbles that rise lazily through the murky body.

◌ Aroma

Fresh ripe strawberry dominates the nose, offering bright berry sweetness and a hint of jammy ripeness. Beneath sits a gentle vanilla bean character, smooth and creamy rather than sharp. Noble hop notes emerge as a supporting frame, adding slight herbal and citrus undertones without overwhelming the fruit.

◐ Taste

Strawberry sweetness enters first, then the palate develops a creamy, full body softened by vanilla and fruit pectin. A gentle tartness from the strawberry skins develops mid-palate, lending complexity and balance. The finish returns to the hoppy edge—a dry, bitter bite that cuts through the fruit sweetness and lingers with pleasant resinous notes.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium to long, with the bitter hop character dominating after the initial fruit impression fades. Dry, resinous, and clean, with a lingering strawberry and vanilla echo in the aftertaste.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
