Milkshake beers are a strange but delicious phenomenon brewed with lactose sugar and apple pectin. They're hazy, slightly sweet, and hoppy, with a velvety mouthfeel unlike any other. Some people love them, some people consider them blasphemy – luckily they're an optional spice of life (that sell out faster than we can brew them). Plan for these awful, no good, sacrilegious beers accordingly.
We love all our beers equally and would never play favourites, but if we had to live out the remainder of our days on a desert island, let's just say this juicy, spritzy, citrus bomb disguised as a beer, would be on our short list. It's kind of like if freshly squeezed OJ and a creamsicle had a baby, and then that baby went on to become an overachiever you wanted to hate but just couldn't.

Can from the brewery. Opaque orange, with a small white head. Looks exsctly like a glass of orange juice. Aroma is potent tangerine oils, and vanilla. Mouth feel is like mango nectar, with a soft carb. Finish is tart, and pithy, light vanilla, with a boat load of citrus oils. Medium to highly butter, the pithiness is really ramped up.

Bottle - Intense tangerine candy with some peel. Murky orange with a small white head. Tastes like a mimosa in a good way.

Bouteille 500ml, gracieuseté de msjpearson, Thanks Mike! Couleur orange opaque, mousse orangée fugace. Arôme de tangerine, pelure de tangerine, acidité. Goût de tangerine, houblon fruité, amertume moyenne-faible, légère acidité. Carbonatation faible, corps moyen-dense. C'est une très bonne bière aux fruits, mais où est mon IPA?

(Tap) cloudy, bright yellow orange colour with a small white head; aroma of tangerine, tropical fruit; lightly tart flavour with a long, very light bitter finish. Really a fruit beer, and a tasty one.

A dark orange juice with a very thin off white head. In aroma, loads of sweet tangerine, resinous and piney hops, very nice and smooth. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with loads of tangerine pulp, pine needles, juniper, very nice and complex. On tap at brewery.
