Incorporating Dig Brew Co's knowledge of milkshake IPAs into our Always Vegan philosophy, Close Encounters is a "milk alternative IPA". Maltodextrin replaces lactose as the unfermentable sugar of choice for an extra creamy mouthfeel that remains vegan and lactose-free, whilst a massive hopping rate lends this plenty of citrus and stone fruit flavour.

440ml can from the brewery. Hazy yellow-gold pour, small white head. Lemon citrus, herb dankness, stone fruits aroma, very fresh. Taste is fresh citrus, herbs come in at the same time as the bitterness ascends, after this starts to recede somewhat you get more of a chewy dried apricot note along side the citrus. Good smooth moderate body, soft carbonation. I cant really detect any milkshake IPA elements that the can mentions and that's probably a good thing. This is a very good hoppy fresh NEIPA. Lovely.
