Well this was an unexpected surprise; I think it's the first time I have awarded full marks to an IPA. Yes, that's a full 50/50 and I don't hand that score out very often.
I usually try to keep the sediment in the can but this is a milkshake IPA so I just poured it all in the glass. It looks like orange juice with a thick cream coloured head.
It smells SO fruity with a combination of tropical fruits and citrus. I picked up notes of mango, peach, lime, grapefruit and lychee and it smells like there's a full and varied bowl of fruit crammed into this can.
The taste is DIVINE! It's sweet and juicy with tropical fruits and citrus combining with the lactose and oats to give a smooth and perfectly balance flavour. It's definitely one for the sweet toothed beer drinker, but it's not too sweet and it has a lovely bitter finish. There isn't even a hint of raw alcohol taste, despite the stonking 7% ABV.
It's full bodied and well carbonated to give a nice tingly mouthfeel that reminds you it's beer not juice that you're drinking.
I couldn't fault this beer at all and it was well deserving of a perfect score from me. I'll be stocking up on this if BrewDog brew it again and hopefully, Ale Be Seeing You again!
