Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: hazy yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head, messy sticking lace
Aroma: tangerine peels, other blended citrusy juiciness, some grassy hops, clean malts, some milk sugar
Flavor: sweet hoppiness blended with the milk sugar, mild sweet creamy hoppy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, mild sessionability, creamy smooth semi-hoppy finish
Overall: for a milkshake IPA, this isn't bad, I might not be totally sold on 'milkshake IPA's' (as I've often believed milk sugar shouldn't be in beer) but yes, I believe I could come back to this one
