A Note on This Beer

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But also, don’t be afraid to innovate. But, you know, don’t fly too close to the sun. But, shoot for the moon, for even if you miss, you’ll land among…

Life is confusing sometimes. We have to find balance in many aspects of our day-to-day lives. 

The folks at Phase Three get this, and they injected a clever stroke of innovation into their popular collab with Bottle Logic, Vanilla Backbox. 

With that vanilla-infused IPA already boasting a 4.22 on UT, the fellas wanted to find a way to kick it up a notch — so they double dry-hopped it for extra potent IPA electricity.

Galaxy, Citra Cryo, and Mosaic Cryo Hops all come together to form a beautiful hazy and effervescent gold pint with mango, passionfruit, and dank tropical flavors. 

After the double dry-hopping, citrus-y and peach sensations blast across the palate, only to be curbed with a pleasant vanilla sweetness, right at the end.

It drinks luscious and full, like a milkshake — but don’t get it twisted. There’s no lactose here: just pure IPA greatness. This mighty 8% ABV hopjuice is a fun sipper that’s deceptively drinkable with the help of its vanilla friend.

It was never broken, but Phase Three and Bottle Logic know better than to leave well enough alone. This new brew shows they like spreading their wings and flying high — and, if I were you, I’d grab a can and join them, before it’s too late.

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

So at first smell and glance you expect just your average tasty light ipa and in all honesty the only thing that is true in regards to flavor is that it is light, the first sip was just this super calming subtle taste of a soft creamy vanilla followed by a slight hop to give just this perfect blend that truly encompasses all aspects of your taste buds and scent. I will most definitely be on the lookout for anything from these two brewers, FYI it packs a punch lol at about 3 drinks in I started to feel the effects and got all nice and warm and giggly!

Never had a beer like this, for a couple reasons. One being the vanilla influence and the other having a flavor last throughout the waft into and out of the finish. And then there is the citrus haze, a beer creamsicle. Not necessarily a “go-to” for my palette.

Like the hoppiness almost too much vanilla. I know it’s literally called vanilla but just a little overwhelming

Pour was murky and brownish. Vanilla and hops combine for a nice creamsicle thing but ultimately I just don’t find the combination of hop bitterness and vanilla sweetness to be pleasant for more than a few sips.

Way too much vanilla. Getting through an entire cab would be a little hard but it’s a great vanilla flavor. Think whipped vanilla frosting.

At first I wasn’t sure I like the vanilla addition, but after drinking the four that I ordered I felt that it was a bold move. The hops flavors were plentiful and the vanilla after taste was pleasant.

Very good Hazy. If you like vanilla this is for you. The vanilla comes through on the finish which makes it a very smooth IPA for how hoppy it is.

Starts off with a citrus smell to the nose. Slight vanilla flavor (like minor ) with a citrus finish. Not in my favorites . Ok as an IPA.

Space Cookie twin and dangerously close to Bottle Logic's "Milk of the Hoppy" crowler from the days of yore. Delicious hop cake. Perfect.
