Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: hazy yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head, messy sticking lace
Aroma: tangerine peels, other blended citrusy juiciness, some grassy hops, clean malts, some milk sugar
Flavor: sweet hoppiness blended with the milk sugar, mild sweet creamy hoppy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, mild sessionability, creamy smooth semi-hoppy finish
Overall: for a milkshake IPA, this isn't bad, I might not be totally sold on 'milkshake IPA's' (as I've often believed milk sugar shouldn't be in beer) but yes, I believe I could come back to this one

Can 35,5 cl. Made with Tangerine peel. Pours a cloudy, opaque yellowy golden with a small, white head. Lovely tangerine aroma, almost perfumy. Medium body, thankfully dry in spite of the lactose. Almost tart citrus. Some finishing bitterness. Really good. 150823

Part of a tasting in STL during a visit to the family. Great people and an enjoyable time at the brewery. Scores recorded at the time but not detailed notes.

$3.49 pint can from Woodman's Appleton, 4/21/20. Murky orange, large foamy off-white head, good retention. Aroma of tangerine, orange, pineapple, pale malt. Fruit seems fresh. I'm kind of afraid of what lurks at the bottom of the can. Taste is tangerine, passionfruit, pale malt. Medium bodied, juicy. Fairly simple but well executed.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates leaving no head or lacing. Tangerine forward nose with dank hops, citrus and crushed pineapple aromas. Medium carbonation on the palate with more tangerine zest and pith with pine, dank and tropical fruit flavors. Lingering mild pithy bitterness. Thankfully the lactose is light on this one.

Draft. An unclear yellow beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of citrus fruits, peaches, fruit, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruit, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.
