Can, Brewdog version at 6.8%. It pours cloudy yellow - gold with a bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet and fragrant, definitely has vanilla ice cream about it, creaminess, cake frosting, iced gems, touch of grain, damp grass, herbal accents and whets crackers. The taste is pretty smooth and sweet initially, then your gets some pleasant bitterness to balance it out, rich and creamy, vanilla ice cream, marshmallow, cake frosting, touch of orangey stone fruit, Fanta ice cream float, soma grass/herbal notes and a kick of booze with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, supportive carbonation. I am not a fan of this style at all, saying that this one has a nice hit of bitterness and vibrancy to carry the sweet vanilla milkshake character. Passable.

Can from Corti Bros. Pours hazy, slightly dirty, gold with a creamy white head. Aroma is principally vanilla with some orange notes. Med body. Flavor is vanilla with definite orange flavor thrown in. Not quite a creamsicle thing, but close. Fairly dry; somewhat bitter. Ok drink for a warm day.

16 oz can from Longs. Hazy golden, one finger creamy head. Milky, vanilla aroma, touch of orange. Taste is a lot of vanilla, sweet and creamy. A small touch of orange gives it a creamsicle vibe for a moment and some light bitternes, but his a straight up vanilla milkshake.
