This Pale Ale is lovingly brewed by the fantastic Northern Monk.
This tasty brew comes in a 440ml can and is 8.2% ABV.
The good people at Northern Monk say:
As we enter summer, our patrons series tour with Sarah Harris takes us to the Scarborough coast. The sun is in the sky, the fish and chips were fresh and salty and all that is left is to complete the perfect day is to head down to the beach, picking up a double cone ice cream (with flake) on the way! This double ice cream pale is designed to replicate that taste of the seaside in delicious beer form. We built the beer up over a base of silky flaked oats and mouthfeel-building chit malt as part of an extra pale malt grist. To bring out the creaminess we craved, we combined lactose milk sugar and Madagascan vanilla to bring out the most classic of ice cream flavours. For our second scoop, we went with 100g/l of strawberry puree during fermentation and finished off with the all-important flake, with a late addition of milk chocolate.

Not usually a fan of concentrates in beer but his is done really well
Asher –
Just wow. This was excellent
Ben –
really nice and smooth, can definitely taste the vanilla and its usper creamy.
Ryan –
Really sweet and smooth – the quality is really high but ultimately the beer flavour gets quite lost and the vanilla, strawberry and chocolate all compete too much
Simon –
Really enjoyed it, but took me a long time to make up my mind. The fruit and vanilla tastes and strong, no real taste of chocolate. A well made beer and doesn’t taste it’s strength
Sean –
Quite weird but quite good. Really does taste of the sauce on an ice cream. Vanilla and a little bit of chocolate. Easy to drink but kept changing in taste. Did have a lot of sediment in and that put me off a bit.
Michael –

Sam –

ice cream with raspberry juice … don’t get the choklit.. but excellent
Andrew –
Horrid. Overly sweet and the strawberry is far too overpowering. Don’t know what they were thinking

Outstanding, incredibly smooth, goes down like a session pale…. Rich sugar feel.
David –
Wow, unexpectedly gorgeous. Like a strawberry and vanilla ice cream, it’s hoppy but so creamy and mellow. How it’s 8.2% I’ll never know!
Gareth –
Creamy strawberry and chocolate icecream with a bitter citrus finish. All works together somehow.
Sammie –
Cheeky 8.2% but doesn’t taste it! You can really taste the strawberry puree and then the chocolate finish. It’s amazing!
