Bottle. Hazy golden body with a fizzy white head, diminishing. Aroma of citrus, toasted grain, lemon and light canned corn. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. Tastes like a cream ale with DMG. In this case, the creamy texture heightens the unpleasant flavors. Not a fan.

22 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours slightly hazy pale straw color, with a 1-2 finger fairly dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big strawberry, pineapple, peach, grapefruit, mango, melon, vanilla, cream, lemon/orange zest, light pine, light bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops, strawberry/vanilla, and light pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big strawberry, pineapple, peach, grapefruit, mango, melon, vanilla, cream, lemon/orange zest, pine, light bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of strawberry, pineapple, peach, grapefruit, mango, melon, vanilla, cream, lemon/orange zest, pine, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, strawberry/vanilla, and light pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, moderately sticky, and lightly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is a very nice fruited IPA. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, strawberry/vanilla, and light pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Pour @ RateBeer Best Festival. They actually poured lemon or coconut slushee on top of the IPA when serving this. Kind of hazy orange appearance with a cream colored head before the slushee was added on top. The aroma is dulled by the slushee but the slushee smelled like a bland coconut or lemon, somewhat neutral flavor. Surprisingly, the hops and the fruitiness of the beer comes out in the flavor with the slushee present. A little bit of pine to go along with some citrus fruits. Again, surprisingly, even with the slushee addition, this wasn’t as sweet as many of the gimmicky impy stouts at the fest. Kind of fun.

Draught at RateBeer Best festival. Hazy orange liquid with huge soft serve head. Aroma of lemon, citrus, peach, light lactose, grapefruit and light grain. Taste is very light sweet and light bitter with notes of citrus, light lactose, tangerine and light grain. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Nice, the best of the Milkshake IPAs so far.
