Brewed with Lactose, and hundreds of pounds of Peaches. This beer has a creamy like character that plays into the juicy characters of the New England style IPA. A very drinkable combination of fruit, vanilla, and hops.

16 ounce prowler into tulip glass, filled on 10/27/2018. Pours opaquely hazy golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of huge juicy peaches, pineapple, apricot, fruit skin, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of peaches, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge juicy peaches, pineapple, apricot, fruit skin, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of peaches, pineapple, apricot, fruit skin, grapefruit, orange juice, lemon, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, light pepper/pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/grainy, lightly sticky/tangy, and slightly resinous mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is a fantastic Milkshake NEIPA! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of peaches, citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mellowly bitter/drying finish. Great soft feel. Feels like a lot of Simcoe. Extremely juicy hops/fruit, with light dankness; balanced lactose and wheat/oat/malt backbone. Not overly sweet sweet from lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
