16oz can from Tavour. Hazy orange golden, instant airy head which fades to flat. Sweet, milky aroma with traces of lemon and vanilla. Taste carries forward more of the pie flavors and adding crust elements like brown sugar and graham. Super smooth with a nice velvety feel.

Drekker Secret Handshake Lemon Meringue Pie Milkshake IPA, 7.5% ABV. Pours hazy pale yellow with a middle-finger of white head that left no lacing. Nose is graham, lemon, and marshmallow. Taste follows plus lactose, with lemon up front, slightly sweet, and moderately tart. Excellent smooth mouthfeel, overall extra-excellent. Smells exactly like lemon meringue pie, taste not so much.

This is one of those beers that smells so good, you are compelled to sniff it with every sip. Too bad the taste didn't match. The spelt was a nice addition, though would have been good to have more of it.

Since they were shooting for lemon meringue if have to say they came pretty damn close. Smells and tastes like a lot of lemon and vanilla. Very sweet and light. I would have liked to have gotten a little Graham cracker crust in there but not bad.

This beer pours a hazy muddt yellow with a decent sized head. The aroma features a huge burst of lemon peel and juice, and then a kiss burnt sugar. The flavor features a gentle cascade of lemon and vanilla, definitely creating the impression of lemon meringue pie, whole still maintaining the notion of being a beer, down to have juts a touch of bitterness. The mouthfeel is fairly light, with modest carbonation. Overall, this beer accomplishes exactly what it set out to do, and I cannot think of a better thing to say about it.

Pours a cloudy dirty yellow color. Smell had lemon, with creamy vanilla and pie crust. Taste follows nose a creamy lemon taste followed with nice vanilla/vinegar/creamy mousse, then mixed with baked pie crust... very nice.. A creamy lemon mouth feel but not in your face. 1 can was enough for me ,it is worth a try. If your not a fan of lemon flavor stay away.
