1 Pint can from Dunell's in Jersey. Pours hazy orange with a white creamy head. Aromas & tastes of tangerine, mango, pineapple, vanilla & lactose. Medium body. Smooth long Moderate bitter finish. Excellent especially as I love Milkshake IPA's

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, tidy white head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a very light creamy sweetness. Was expecting a vanilla fest here, nothing of the sort. A light vanilla, but it sits low in the profile. Trace of coconut. Modest citric hops, very light peel. Nibbly hop spice into a very mildly bitter citric peel finish. Hmm. Not the brash affair I was expecting, and now I haven't got it, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed. However, what we do have is a layered and thoughtful take on a Milkshake IPA, and for that I doff my hat.

16 oz. Aroma is very orangey, also notes of lemon, pine, vanilla, coconut. Pours murky orange-golden with a two finger+ cream-white head with excellent retention. Taste is moderately bittersweet with a hint of tartness and flavors like the aroma descriptors. Only a little bit creamy and milkshake-like. Tasty, though.
