Can from Damian bottle shop. Hazy orange yellow color with white head. Aroma of vanilla, tropical fruits, zest, citrus. Sweet taste with tropical fruit, canilla, candies, powder sugar, citrus, zest. Very sweet, tasty, but not too much IPA inside.

0.44 l can shared with Marko. Hazy orange, small off-white head. Dr. Oetker pudding powder aroma. Peach candy or ice-cream. Cake or vanilla biscuit. Very sweet, confection, powder sugar. Fruity element. Citrusy flavour in the finish. Smooth, strong, soft carbonation, medium to full body, light finish, sweet. Texture is nice, aroma and flavour overwhelming, a bit too sweet.

Murky yellow body, white head. Big pastry aroma, fruit yoghurt touches, mostly vanilla. Dry taste, huge vanilla, creamy taste, ending... lightly chocolatey near the finish (?!)... some stone fruit hoppiness is there for it not to be entirely an overload of adjuncts. This is just weird, they definitely overdid the lactose and vanilla. Yeah, one might say, what's to expect from an Imperial Milkshake anything, but still... the hoppiness was subdued by it too much.

Can via Pivny raj. Unpleasantly sweet, vanilla clearly present and not helping. Both of these things feel really weird to me in an IPA. There is high bitterness present too, and loads of citrusy exotic hops character. Oranges. But fuck, the vanilla is really annoying, obscuring all the finest points here. This one is a miss for me. Hard to drink.

Can from Pivný raj Creamy ale. Loads of lactose and tropical fruits accompanied with high voltage, that's not really trying to hide. Lovely.

Canned 440ml. -from Spicy Days Zagreb. Murky orange coloured, medium sized white head, sugar and lactose in the nose. Sugary fruity and heavy lactose taste with sweet candy notes in the finish. Not for my taste.

Can, 0.44l. Hazy orange pour, two finger frothy white head. Good retention, long lasting head, lots of lacing on the glass as it goes down. Sweet and fruity on the nose, floral notes, candy, strong vanilla presence. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth and soft mouthfeel and texture, chewy, creamy, easily drinkable. Fruity sweet taste with very subtle hop bitterness in the background. Huge juicy aroma, it's like drinking tropical fruit juice. Sweet, slightly sugary. Milk, huge vanilla flavor. Floral. Long lasting finish, sweet, dry, lingering vanilla notes. Quite different, this one. Absolutely delicious.
