A Note on This Beer

Guava is a mouthwatering fruit, but it’s hard to come by outside of the tropics. So, anytime I come across a guava-flavored treat, I make sure to load up. 

My latest indulgence is today’s Guava Milkshake from Braxton Labs. The brewers packed this 7% ABV brew with lemony Citra Hops and berrylicious Mosaic Hops for a fruit-forward base. 

Then, they loaded the barrels with juicy guava purée, sweet vanilla beans, and creamy lactose to coax out dreamy milkshake thickness with tangy-sweet, tropical flavor. It tastes like a melty guava-vanilla ice cream topped with grapefruit zest! 

And, fans are shouting from their rooftops about this tropical indulgence: 

  • “This is amazing! Guava, lactose and vanilla beans never ever tasted so good!” @Sid K. 
  • “So smooth and the perfect subtle hint of sweetness.” @Cortney S.
  • “Suuuuuuper delicious...Should have bought them out.” @Brett I. 


If you’re guava-obsessed like me, or just love a fruit-tastic Milkshake IPA, this tropical delicacy is a ‘can’t miss’! 

*Braxton Labs are a Brewbound Rising Star recipient; medaled 3x in their very first competition, the Alltech Commonwealth Craft Beer Cup!

Wish the flavors were more present. At the current, it's a man's beer with some fruit kissed into it.

Enjoyable, so mush so it went down quicker than usual. The 7% caught up with me pretty quickly. This is not a complaint

Amazing guava taste, the lactose gives it a really nice creamy touch. Not too big in the hops.

Daily Corona battle college football night cap edition. Delightful, super vanillay, thick with solid guava. Vanilla dominates to make it a smooth, rich milkshake ipa.

The 7% abv is well hidden in this brew. Extremely creamy texture matched with tropical hop flavors. Easy to drink.

This may have been good but the guava was refermented. They need to make sure if it says “keep cold” to keep them COLD!!

Braxton almost totally nailed this one with a perfect 5 but like a lot of other breweries and their milkshakes, they haven’t perfected the finish on it. After your pallet is cleared you get left with almost a mint/medicine-like aftertaste that leaves me not looking forward to the next drink. Really wanted to like this one but I’m optimistic they’ll take notes and get it locked down for the next one.

Delicious. It smells just like a guava shake. Has a subtle guava taste. A very good New England IPA with subtle guava and vanilla. Would recommend to anyone and I’m glad I grabbed more than 1.

This was honestly, quite gross. Pretty upsetting too considering I was very excited for it. Has a funky smell and the taste was very poor.

I am trying to branch out and develop a taste for IPAs. So I am trying IPAs with something special like this. I had high hopes but unfortunately this didn't live up to my expectations. It is certainly smooth but just tastes like every other IPA I've had. Not worthy of the very nice packaging and description.
