Can from Brewklopedia, Leicester. Orange/gold, slightly hazy with a ring of white head. Smells of peach, pineapple and passionfruit. Sweet taste is overcome by a far-too-intense passionfruit juice sourness. Kumquat peel and lemon juice in the aftertaste. Doesn't really work for me.

Can picked up from Brewdog Oxford and consumed at home Sunday 21st October 2018. Pours hazy murky gold with a white head. Quite tart and tangy, lactose shows in fact I didn't realise it was milkshake IPA until I just checked. Passion fruit and mango as per the description certainly shows, ok but not really my thing.

440ml can. pours hazy orange with no head. Aroma of slightly overripe fruits, mango, passionfruit, vanilla, some lactose. Taste is actually rather tangy, overripe fruits, slightly sour in fact, some vanilla, some lactose, not as sweet as I expected though, it's almost like it's a hybrid sour IPA/milkshake IPA. Medium bodied, soft carbonation.

Sunday evening 26th Aug 2018, the train home from Birmingham; four blokes sharing six beers, this was one of them. 440ml can, misty golden pour, white topping. Tropical fruit sweetness from start to finish with the aroma beginning the journey. However there were some not so sweet elements digging away in each sip; different and interesting.

Can on train back from Brum Bimble August '18. Pours misty gold, white head. Catty aroma, a touch sweet. Taste presents some lactic pineapple notes, a bit odd, herbal, bitter some sour notes, lactic element seems to take over the fruity moments. Bit confused is I think what I'm trying to say.

Can. Hazy orange - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Nose of tangu pineapple led tropical fruits and a touch of piss. Smooth palate, light fine carbonation. Smooth malts, modest sweetness, a little vanilla. Very tangy tropical fruits follow the nose and up the intensity. Light finish. Hmm, it's okay but slightly awkward. More of a sour IPA than a milkshake IPA. Perhaps Ratebeer should disappear farther up it's own arse and introduce the 'not that hazy sour milkshake IPA' style.
