Big ole pint can thanks to Fergus. It pours hazy bright yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, lemon curd, vanilla yoghurt, doughy white bread and custard donut. The taste is crisp, dry, bright, quite sweet, trashy, vanilla custard, lemon peel, grainy, toothy and a kick of alcohol with a drying finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. A bit sweet for me. Ok.

Can shared in Hackney - cheers to Fergus. Pour any hazy yellow with a frothy, pure white head. Fun stuff, notes of vanilla, ripening lemon, pale bread, meringue, light alcohol. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, minimal lemon rind bitterness, more vanilla, pale malts, more meringue. Actually it's quite bodied nice.

Pint can @ Station, shared with Mike and Paolo after a hefty beer share. Perhaps not the best idea to fall into this bar and order this. Appearance is hazy golden yellow, frothy white top. Aroma has good citrus and peachy stonefruits, some vanilla. Taste continues along similar lines, some lactose, nice sweetness. Can't remember much beyond this I'm afraid.

568ml can from Brendan's Brewtique in Bristol. Pours murky golden with a white head. Aroma: sweet with citrus, peach & vanilla. Taste: heavy sweet with minimal bitterness, citrus, peach, cream, lactose, vanilla ice cream, hoppy hints. Light bitterness on the finish. Medium to full bodied with ample carbonation. Well brewed but incredibly sweet. Couldn't finish a whole pint.

568ml pint can. Murky pale gold, creamy white head. Aroma of vanilla, peach, citrus. Taste is sweet, vanilla dominates, citrus fruits, peach, creamy lactose, as others said definitely get vanilla ice cream vibes from this, subtle hop bitterness. Medium body, creamy, smooth, soft carbonation. A full pint is perhaps a bit much given the sweetness but it's bloody delicious.

Can. Mitchellโs Wines, Sheffield. Fully hazy, slightly dirty gold. Nicely sticky, messy white froth. Nose has Mini Milk ice cream. Orange sorbet. Vanilla. Notes of ripe peach and nectarine. Taste is similarly sweet, with a nice balance of juicy hop bitterness. Medium body. Low carbonation. Quite sticky and fruity. Light bitterness to finish. Mega sweet, but then itโs gonna be? Enjoyed this one.

Can. Very hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Smooth and airy - soft palate. Reasonable fine carbonation. Smooth malts, good creamy vanilla sweetness. Leading on the 'Ice Cream' vibe. Ripe orange and grapefruit citrus. Mild pine. Milder hop spice. Light thin tangy citrus linger. Good Ice Cream APA!

Cask-conditioned at the Crown, Bristol 10/4/2019. Cloudy gold in colour, with a tight and creamy, white, head. Big citrus hops and juicy tropical fruits, light malts, followed by a touch of vanilla before a dryish finish. Enjoyable.
