Orange Velvet Milkshake IPA from 4 Noses will make you feel like you’re sidled up to an adults-only soda fountain bar, where you can order this magically boozed up 7.1% ABV fruity milkshake alongside your burger and fries. Skip the straw: it will only slow you down from getting to that velvety, peach-hued nectar.

4 Noses starts with a bright, citrusy blend of Amarillo and rarely-seen Jarrylo Hops. Some brewers use Jarrylo for its spicy qualities, but 4 Noses draws out its full fresh-squeezed orange flavors. They build on this hop foundation by adding blood orange purée, which adds a dripping, berry-like sweetness. Lactose sugar delivers a soft and creamy mouthfeel with virtually no bitterness, making Orange Velvet seem like it comes straight from a blender.

Untappd drinkers are loving this milkshake madness, rating it 4.05. Just check out what a couple of these shake-crazed sippers are saying:

• “Supremely delicious in every way. Balanced yet bright hop character is met with smooth n' creamy notes of orange on the finish. Mad dope.” -- @Spencer G.
• “Looks like a mimosa in my glass, but tastes far better. Has that sharp, acidic blood orange, but lactose balances it out properly. Great!” -- @Robert G.

Silky sweet, bursting with ripe blood orange flavor, and without a trace of bitterness, give this beer to your friend who claims they don’t like IPAs. Watch their eyes widen in childlike glee after just one sip of this hoppy milkshake.
