Canned 4/28/21, drunk 5/25/21. Moderately hazy, drab, lemon-lime-golden with a small white head that sits at cover. Smells like vanilla ice cream....with a touch of coconut. I think I get more lime zest than I do hops, as well, but this is also almost a month old, so maybe understandable. Still, it's homogenized well, with no weird lactose notes nor any one element dominating. That said, I'm not really dying to take a big whiff of vanilla-coconut ice cream when smelling a beer. Fares a bit better in the mouth, with a soft, comforting texture, lots of sweet vanilla and honey-like malt notes and a finish full of lime acidity and coconut. It's what you've signed up for, buying this beer, so no complaints and they've done it pretty well. Enough bitterness from the lime to keep it mostly balanced though some hop bitterness would be less harsh and more appreciated. Good enough though, doesn't bludgeon you to death with sweetness, booze or adjunct.
Ok about 15 minutes later this is getting borderline sickening with the lactose and lime acidity overwhelming. I get that lactose IPAs are not meant to be held for a month but I also think this must have been unbearable when super fresh, so I don't know what to think.
