This heavily dry-hopped Milkshake-style IPA was brewed with lactose sugar and apple pectin, and was conditioned on vanilla and a huge amount of pink guava puree.

This is super fruity and really pushes the envelop of beer.
Great colour, looks like a fruit shake. Awesome fruity aroma. Lots of guava in the flavour, but grapefruit too.

Hazy orange juice with some pink/salmon tints, small white head that diminish pretty fast.
Nose is citrus, some tart and guava hints, small vanilla notes, it is lovely!
Taste is citrus forward, juice bomb, very fruity, small tartness, vanilla, sweetness coming from lactose with a grapefruit bitterness.
Creamy mouthfeel, we can't feel the 7% abv, it is very well done!

Murky pink pour, smaller head. Aroma and taste of pink guava, vanilla, lactose, grapefruit, passionfruit. Like a cross between a really good IPA and a guava shake. Thicker body. Immensely drinkable - the best one in the series so far.

Bottle at Citizen.
Absolutely fantastic. Turbid but electric pour with aromas that come through directly in the mouth. Vanilla is integrated so well and in such a subtle manner that manages to compliment all other elements without being overpowering. Lot's of sweet, tart, juicy, tropical notes that just develop and develop over time. Extremely high drinkability. Bellwoods continues to knock it out of the park.

Really nice. Tinned of guava, a strong vanilla flavour in the finish along with a mild bitterness. Some citrus and tropical fruits. Soft and juicy. No surprise people have been so excited about it.

Fresh bottle from today's release. Guava fruit nose, and guava dominates up front, with a bitter finish. Odd bitterness at the very end that may dissipate in older bottles. Sorbet? No.
