DCR Fruitshake Strawberry Blonde Fruit Ale

DCR Fruitshake Strawberry Blonde Fruit Ale.

5.2 % ABV. 12 IBU. Drumconrath Brewing, Fargo, ND.

Hazy, pale golden color, slim to no head. 

In the nose: Sweet, fruity, minor hops. 

In the mouth: Big time sweet and fruity, with a twist of tart. Low key bitterness, moderate malt. Creamy. Is this a "milkshake blonde ale", rather than a milkshake IPA? Do we have lactose and vanilla? It's right there on the label. This is a first for me, almost all the "milkshakes" I've had have tried to pass themselves off as IPAs. I have to say that I prefer this approach. 

This is not for me, but it is most certainly for plenty of other folks, ...if that's you, have at it.
