Can. Hazy orange - gold beer, fluffy pale cream colour head. Slighty soft palate still has decent trailing carbonation. Light creamy malts,.well integrated vanilla. Light smooth coconut. Decent orangey citrus and smooth light tropical fruits. Some bitterness and.spice reminds that this is not a fruit milkshake. Light spicy linger. Pretty drinkable.

Nice beer. Fruity, lactose strong. Only had two sips, but want more.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 5/15/2018. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of coconut, vanilla, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread, light biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, citrus fruit, coconut, lactose, and pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big coconut, vanilla, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, light pepper, pine, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread, light biscuit, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of coconut, vanilla, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, passion fruit, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, citrus fruit, coconut, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop/fruit flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from hop/citrus peel bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready, fairly sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol for 6.3%. Overall this is a very nice fruited milkshake IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops, citrus fruit, coconut, lactose, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Nicely soft-ish mouthfeel for the style. The coconut tea is pretty big on this, but it works well with the citrus fruit and tropical hops. Juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank hops/fruit; nice malt/lactose backbone, and mild residual sweetness. A very enjoyable, unique, and well made offering for the style.

Draught @ Helst. Light hazy (almost clear) golden color. Frothy white head. Aroma's: sweetish, fruit, fruitcandy, cocos. Retronasal mostly fruitcandy, some hops, cocos. Flavor is over moderate sweet with light bitterness. Medium bodied. Fairly bitter finish. A bit weird but quite nice.

8 3 7 3 16Draft at Helst, Amsterdam. Clear golden with an off white head. Aroma of lactose, citrus, orange, peach, grapefruit, herbal notes and coconut. Flavour is above moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a slightly hazy yellow color with a medium sized foamy off white head that left good lacing. The aroma was tart with tropical fruit, pine and kiwi. The flavor was tangy, sweet and yeasty with vanilla cream, tropical fruit and coconut. Long finish. Medium body.

Pours a hazy light golden-yellow colour with a foamy off-white cap that stays around for a while and leaves thick soapy lacing. Citrus juice aromas from oranges and more, with a nice sweetness from the lactose sugars. The coconut is felt in the background. This is more felt in the taste though, and is hard to get through. There is some good citrus notes, tangerine-like, bitterness and dryness, but the coconut comes in the finish. I guess you can get use to this. Still, quite decent overall for a pretty fly brewery like this one.

This beer is a slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. Aroma of tropical fruit, herbal hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of grapefruit, piney hops, coconut and malt. The finish is mildly bitter with citrus and coconut aftertaste. Decent overall.

Can from the LCBO. I had high expectations of this but alas... Lightly hazed amber with a small short lived white head. Nose is grapefruit, orange, with some hints of pineapple and pine. The tea is evident along with the lactose and coconut. Flavour is medium- lactose sweet with a medium+ bitterness from both the citrus and the tea. Then there's the coconut, as if someone had handed me a bottle without wiping the sunscreen off their hands. The mouth is the best part and is medium+ and creamy with average carbonation with a bitter finish. I waited to the last of my cans to rate this in case it grew on me. It didn't. 7+/3/4-/4/12
