Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: brassy orange/copper color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango, pineapple, coconut and vanilla; clean malts
Flavor: juicy sweet through the prior noted aromas and with a big vanilla/lactose and sweet creamy aspect combining here; finishes very mango forward and creamy
Texture: medium bodied, I guess sessionable (there's nothing really distracting) and very smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: I like NEIPA's but these milkshake IPA's, eh, oh I dunno. Just telling myself - "go onto the next beer, Adam."

This version is 9.3%. 1 pint can from Hoptimaal online store. Murky golden beer with medium, quite stable cloudy head. Aroma has hops, candies grain and vanilla. Flavor has malts, hops, ripe fruits, coconut and vanilla. Slightly bitter and somehow dry at the end. Bit old maybe. Good, though.

Pint can from Ridgeview Liquor, 11/15/21. Murky orange medium tan head, good retention. Aroma vanilla, honey, tropical fruit. Taste is mango, pineapple, vanilla, hints of pine. Juicy. Low bitterness. Too sweet. Absolutely NOT radical. Pretty fucking mundane nowadays. Still, decent.

Definitely not the typical IPA. More like an English strong ale. Some coconut and vanilla. Pours hazy orange with good head and lacing. Some hops in there. Good balance and easy drinking. Tap at Snally.

Draft at Snallygaster 2016. Poured a very cloudy, milkshake tan color with a off-white head. Aroma was a lot of coconut. Toasted coconut. IPA notes are pretty mild, very light. Mellow. Tasty beer.
