Can from Hop Vault, Stourbridge, online. Cloudy gold, small white head, some retention. Aroma of cream, wheat, lactose, vanilla, light fruity hop. Taste is wheat, yeast, vanilla, fruity tang, mild bitterness, some spice in finish. Light to medium bodied, smooth. It grew on me this one, nice to have some hops in a milkshake style IPA.

Tap at the brewery taproom. Poured a clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, lactose vanilla. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a crisp, malt, light citrus, light gluey, floral, super sweet vanilla palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Only hints of bitterness in the finish but lots of sweetness all the way through which was a little too much for me.
