A Note on This Beer

1st Place Flavor Features: This thick Milkshake IPA washes the palate with real, juicy passionfruit and creamy vanilla bean, harmonized with lush citrus and dank papaya from the hops. Rocky Balboa Level Hop Combo: A 1-2 punch of Idaho 7 and Azacca Hops create an ultra-tropical, fruity experience. 

Today’s silky-smooth Rise of the Underdog Milkshake IPA has so many fun flavors hidden in its juicy pour; I’d like to think Rocky Balboa himself generated the muscle power behind it. 

He’d hit it hard with layer upon layer of drippy fruit, lush lactose, and succulent vanilla until it transformed into the velvety-soft, creamy, tropical concoction I’m sippin’ right now. 

But, my guy Rocky didn’t actually make today’s hop creamsicle. This 8% ABV heavy-weight champ of a brew comes from the dexterous brewers at Four Fathers!

These Indiana Brewers Cup Award-winners have been blowing up the Midwest craft scene for years now with big n’ bold brews. And, their fans travel from all over the state to get fresh tastes at the Valparaiso taproom!

So, unless you’re anywhere near Indiana, you’ve got two options here:

  1. Hop in your car and play “Eye of the Tiger” on repeat until you get there. 
  2. Grab your TV remote, start any Rocky movie (my favorite is the original), and snag a stash from the comfort of your couch!

Tavour strictly supports independent beer. Four Fathers Brewing is certified independent by the Brewers Association

Only savior is the mouthfeel. Smells chemical, no real front flavor with a sour (not the good kind) lingering finish. Avoid.

We need a refund for this beer. That brewery is dreadful. I’ve never had anything even remotely palatable by them.

It smelled decent.. But tasted like toe jam smells.. Not sure what happened with this brew. Definitely a chemical / melted plastic after taste. One sip, and down the drain it went. I've never dumped a beer. Ever.

As you’ve read in the other reviews, has a really gross chemical/dusty flavor at the end. I really wanted to like this one but underdog has failed to rise up to the task. Hopefully they learn from this and actually taste test their product next time.

This was not what I expected. Super tart almost sour with weird aftertaste. Comparing with other Tavour ratings I wonder if this is a bad batch... It's got a high rating on UT....

I gotta agree with the others. Its like your eating unripe fruit. Vanilla? No way. This beer truly is not worth finishing.

Helpful tip: roll the can a bit before opening. Lots of separation. First sip was weird, but then after pouring the rest into the glass, it got better, but not as good as other ratings say. I agree with folks that something is wrong with this run. I would leave it unrated if I could, as I think there was an issue.

Needs to figure out what it wants to be. The passion fruit perhaps needs to be a bit more subtle.
