Fruit Blood - Strawberry & Vanilla
Masthead Brewing Co.

16 ounce can, canned on 7/30/21, thanks again to Jon for this brew! Served in DFH Spiegelau IPA glass, the beer pours a murky golden/orange color with a bit of a reddish tinge, and about an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is nice, the brew smells like strawberries, cream, vanilla, tropical fruit and citrusy hops. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also some herbal hop and bready malt flavors noticeable too. The strawberry, lactose and vanilla seem stronger in the aroma to me, but are definitely noticeable in the flavor too and they don't overpower the IPA aspects of the beer. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's creamy and a bit coating with a moderate amount of carbonation. Smooth and easy to drink. I liked this one, definitely worth trying if you come across some!
