473ml can served cold into a snifter. Canned February 18, 2025.
Appearance - Hazy and turbid yellowy orange brew with so much haze. A half finger of white head rests on top, with good lasting power.
Smell - I get a bunch of mango, some wheat and not a whole lot else.
Taste - Some mango and citrus with lots of lactose sweetness and yes the finishings of a mint milkshake. Quite sweet as expected.
Mouthfeel - Full bodied, low carbonation super creamy and smooth.
Overall - For novelty factor this is a good one, but for repeated drinking I can't see knocking back more than one in a sitting. Too sweet for my tastes (and especially to be an IPA) but interesting well constructed brew nonetheless.

can from the brewery, racked 8 days ago...pours a pale clouded gold with a 2 finger white cap...aroma is complex, floral, exotic fruit, milkshake, some spice and boiled grain....full bodied, rich with silken delivery and soft mellow character....flavor is also complex- fruits, floral, citrus milkshake tones for the lactose just explode on the palate....long wet finish with increasing bittering but complexity intact to an end with a sweet milkshake kiss...in all this it doesn't reveal it's alcohol content....I'm not partial to this milkshake IPA style but I enjoyed this one, and I will have maybe 2 or so in a row...a really well made brew
