440ml can @chez Sophie. Pours gold with a light mist, frothy white head. Lactose nose. Taste presents a creamy lactose vanilla introduction, oaty smooth with a bitter tang on the close. Pina colada nod, with pineapple and luscious papaya and lychee exotics. Nice drinkability.

Cloudy blond with thin head. Aroma and flavour have lots of vanilla. Creamy like a soft ice cream.

Can. Pours hazy yellow. Tangerine, peach, orange, strong vanilla, sweet, little much booze. Good body. Decent, if a little large.

440mml. Can. @home. 03/07/2019. Hazy peach juice colour with a medium and lasting off-white head. Aroma is vanilla, lacto, biscuits and wheat. Insane amount of vanilla in the flavour, lactose and oats. This beer should be called as a Imperial Vanilla Milkshake IPA. Soft boozy finish. Next one please!

440ml can. Hazy orange with a frothy white head. Aroma of vanilla, lactose, citrus hops. Taste is sweet, creamy, vanilla, lactose, juicy citrus/tropical fruits, not boozy at all despite the ABV. Full bodied, thick, creamy, soft carbonation. Lovely.

Can shared with jeevan. Pours hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aromas of vanilla, oats, citrus. Taste is surprisingly bitter, orange, passionfruit, vanilla on the finish. Smooth, well-bittered, which helped me enjoy a beer I assumed would be too sweet for me!

Can shared in London - thanks to Dave. Pours hazy go,d with a creamy, white head. The nose holds vanilla and peach, tangerine. Big sweet flavour, some creamy and sugary vanilla, melon, peach, creamsicle. Meidum bodied, oily and creamy, with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly warming, some lemon creamsicle, soft rindy bitterness. Fun stuff. Certainly sweet.
