This heavily dry hopped Milkshake-style IPA was brewed with lactose sugar and apple pectin, and was conditioned on vanilla and a huge amount of peach puree.

What it smells and tastes like: Intense aromas of peach, vanilla and fruity tropical hops leads into a full bodied beer which tastes like melted peach sorbet. Delicious.

Milkshake beers are a strange but delicious phenomenon brewed with lactose sugar and vanilla. 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.

Can from Bellwoods on Ossington at the farm. Thick thick light yellow pour with very gloopy bottom of the can. Aroma is fizzy peachy tropical fruits with sweet milkiness. Very nice. Taste is much more peach forward. Like a…well, peach milkshake. Palate is too thick and viscous for my taste. Flavor is nice but overall too much milkshake for me. Well done though if that’s your thing!

Tasting at SF
Murky pale color with no head. Fruity aroma, maybe peachy. The IPA base is indistinguishable, the mix of bitter zest and lactose is clashing, the final is quite harsh; and overall it’s quite chalky.
Ok, but nothing special.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals notes of lactose, apple pith, and peach puree. Flavour is similar, with lots of lactose, apple pith, peach puree and vanilla. Very light citrus hops. Milky and pithy. Not all that great.

Cloudy and tan. On the nose, it’s yeasty and with some hops, light peach. This has peachy, and milky, with light bitterness, and finishes with vanilla. Ok, the elements are there, but I’m not really digging it - a bit muddled and messy. They did what they wanted but I don’t think it’s that good.

Tap at the brewery, 12th July 17. Pours a cloudy orange smoothie drink. Aroma is peach and vanilla. Taste is multi layered, good peach, sweet and some bitterness and a vanilla kick. Very nice, but rich.
