Mouthfeel : The beer is light to medium bodied. It has a creamy mouthfeel and is crisp on the palate. Strong hop flavours lingers on the palate and stay for a long time. Low astringency. Aftertaste is very pleasant.

Overall Impression : This is an excellent American IPA. It is very refreshing and creamy on the palate with hints of tropical fruit notes which is very pleasant. For an IPA you need the strong hops to lingers on the palate and this does the job. The Beach Shack is the best IPA in India I have had so far. Arbor beers are available only in Goa and Banglore at the moment. If you do visit Goa please do grab a Can of Beach shack and enjoy your afternoon relaxing at the beach. If you want to relax and have a quite meal with beer please do visit Arbor Beer Garden in Goa. Cheers🍺
