Brewed with lactose, blood orange and mango, this beer has creamy like character that plays into the juicy characters of the New England IPA. A very drinkable combination of fruit, vanilla, and hops.

16 ounce prowler into tulip glass, filled on 7/13/2018. Pours opaquely hazy golden orange/amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big juicy blood orange, mango, melon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, guava, strawberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of blood orange, mango, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, lactose, vanilla, and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy blood orange, mango, melon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, guava, strawberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, grassy bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of blood orange, mango, melon, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, guava, strawberry, citrus peel/zest, light pepper/pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, white bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of blood orange, mango, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, lactose, vanilla, and bready malt flavors; with an awesome malt/bitterness and tart/tangy fruit balance; with no 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/bready/grainy, and lightly sticky/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Touch of resins near the end of the glass. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an awesome fruited milkshake IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of blood orange, mango, citrus/fruity/tropical hops, lactose, vanilla, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish. Nice soft feel. Extremely juicy fruit/hops and balanced vanilla/lactose/malts. Touch of earthy dankness. Not overly sweet from lingering bitter dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.
