From a 440ml can on 15/8/2020. Pours a slightly opaque deep golden with a big dense nitro head. Has a big mango, pineapple and coconut aroma. The flavour is intense on all fronts - super sweet mango and pineapple up front, and a bit of caramel in the background, followed by a quite sharp and zesty bitterness, with strong notes of peel that coats the tongue and lingers for ages. The mouthfeel is slick, the carbonation barely there (I just don't think I'm a nitro guy). Certainly has a lot of character and flavour, but is a bit messy, and just lacking a bit of balance for mine.

(Can - nitro) Pours (after several vigorous shakes and upending into glass!) hazy golden amber with big dense creamy white head. Awesome aroma - intense mango, coconut, cream, pineapple (reminded me of an ice cream) with some hops. So smooth through the nitro head. Creamy with some pleasant bright carbonation. Taste starts with mango milkshake with pineapple and coconut. Then some nice caramel sweetness rolls in, followed by some perfectly balanced hop bitterness. Dangerously drinkable. Really different. Excellent.

Canned, nitro. Huge thanks to Fil for bringing this from Australia and sharing with me and the Raven crew! There's a whole procedure because of the nitro, hah, but it was worth it. Murky yellow-orange body, some off white head. Intensive, and I mean INTENSIVE as F**K aroma, huge, beautiful mango juice, some vague coconut maybe too, but I could smell that for ages. Smooth, very smooth mango, coconut, vanilla taste, sunscreen-like in a good way, bringing me back to my childhood and island beaches in the Adriatic. The hoppiness seemed to be there, fruitiness showing up that wasn't mango or coconut really, blended well with the others, only a faint, faint grainy touch from the malty background. This is, by a large margin, the best Milkshake IPA I've ever had. Nick has created a masterpiece here!
