Bottled, brewed with Fourpure and actually a strawberry milkshake ipa
Pours like lemon juice yellow, cloudy but with a big thick white head, like a proper milkshake.
when first poured smells of strwaberry milkshake then more traditional US IPA grapefruit
some strawberry ice cream flavour but it's battling grapefruit IPA

330ml Bottle from Tesco (£2.50):
A lemon coloured beer that's cloudy that almost looks like a Berliner Weisse with a centimetre & a half, foamy white head that holds fairly well. The nose is lively with some lemon & grassy notes, a little citrus & floral touches without it being too strong. There was a tiny bit of strawberry at the end too but it's hard to tell & I had been expecting a little more given the name of the beer. The taste is slightly more tangy & zesty with the lemon from the nose alongside some earthy hops & a strange bitterness that doesn't seem to go with rest of the beer particularly well, there was some vanilla following on behind that too. It's a light medium bodied beer that’s fairly well carbonated but the balance isn’t particularly great & overall it was quite an average beer that could have used more strawberries but it could have been a lot worse too I guess.

L3.75 | Typical IPA, poor head
S4 | Typical IPA with hint of soft fruits, inviting
T3.75 | Zero signs of milkshake - creative marketing there, but some subtle summer fruits. Would actually like a bit of sweetness to liven it up, but well balanced nonetheless.
F3 lacking body
O3.5 Pretty good, interesting beer. Could be very good with a few tweaks. No Jaipur though!
