A pleasant tangy sourness balanced by a creamy milkshake like sweetness and texture and bursting with citrus and tropical fruits (think tangerine, pink grapefruit, melon, papaya) with hints of creamy coconut.

The ATF Tangyshake NEIPA's acidity is provided by WildBrew Philly Sour yeast, a unique yeast that primarily produces lactic acid during the initial phase of fermentation before switching over to ethanol production.
Philly Sour takes longer than most yeasts to begin and complete fermentation so it is important to pitch the right amount of yeast.

When cooling the beer care should be taken to avoid oxidising the beer. Please refer to the ATF Dry Hopping Techniques and How to minimise Oxidation article for some options.
