I Shook You! is a captivating Barleywine-style ale from Choice Bros Brewing. This vibrant and aromatic beer is a true delight for the senses. The pour reveals a hazy golden-orange color, topped with a dense white head that leaves a lacing trail on the glass. The aroma is an enticing bouquet of ripe pineapple, juicy mango, and zesty grapefruit, with hints of passionfruit and sweet orange adding a tropical touch. On the palate, the beer is a symphony of tangy sweetness and citrusy bitterness. The initial burst of pineapple and mango flavors gives way to a refreshing grapefruit zest, while a subtle hint of resinous pine balances the sweetness, creating a complex and well-rounded taste experience. The medium-bodied and soft mouthfeel, with a slightly creamy texture, is complemented by a crisp, lingering bitterness that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a pleasant aftertaste of tropical fruit and a touch of piney complexity.
