PBJ Ice Cream Sandwich - Triple Scoop

Tap to rate

Layers of jammy berries meet sweet and salty peanut butter, wrapped in a triple serving of smooth, creamy ice cream. The beer belongs to a series of ice-cream-inspired sours in single, double, triple and quadruple scoops. At 8% it rates a 2 on the Sour Scale and contains lactose, so the sweetness leads, with the berries cutting through.

◐ Taste

Sweet and creamy on entry, with smooth mouthfeel and bright berry acidity cutting through the lactose-driven sweetness. Mid-palate reveals layered nutty peanut butter character balanced against mild sourness and fruity complexity. Residual sweetness leads overall, with tartness and slight funk appearing on the edges to prevent cloying richness.
