Milkshake Series - Orange Creamsicle

Undated 4 pack of cans from cooler, drunk over the course of a week, 7/27-8/3/21. Cloudy milkshake appearance is very deep maize-colored with a white head atop that is medium-sized and well-retained. Floral and citrus aromatics from lactose and citra definitely give their best creamsicle impression. Some strong acidity, almost pine-like, as well, with a bit of honey and biscuit from the malt. In the mouth it's full of lactose and has a strong, rather unbalancing/unpleasant bitterness that sort of pervades the whole experience. Milky/chewy texture is thick and the lactose milkiness gives that bile/vomit hint (hard to describe how it comes across). Good attenuation and the floral/citric character is enjoyable, but the lactose and this strong, astringent bitterness just completely ruins the beer. Poured most of them out. Rerate fresh on tap. While this still is no Tree House Creamsicle, this was MUCH better than in the unknown-dated can.
