Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange cloudy color with a finger's worth of quickly dissolving head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: passion fruit sweet and tart notes; tons of vanilla/lactose/marshmallow tones, sweet wheat
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas together in a sweet sort of way with a light tartness; finishes passion fruity and creamy sweet with a touch of tart
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting the flow; carb seems pretty low
Overall: the aromas and flavors are alright but the carb seems a bit lower than expected, not sure if that was intentional or not? I don't know enough.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: hazy dark purple color with a two finger pink foamy head with some bubbles in it then dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet to tart blueberries up front; subtle sweet wheat, some salt underneath
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a sweet to tart fruity quality with some salt in there; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; light smoothness but also a pinch of salt to stain the tongue slightly
Overall: nice as a fruited blueberry ale with some salt in it. I could come back to this in that respect.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark yellow cloudiness with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which quickly died off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet lemon up front with a huge dose of vanilla/lactose/marshmallow sweetness; light lemon zest; some noticeable malts
Flavor: takes the prior noted aromas to blend super sweetly then allows a really big graham cracker sweetness to coincide; finishes super sweet through those flavors
Texture: light to medium bodied, fairly sessionable; extremely smooth along the tongue with any possible IPA qualities being smoothed out a lot; nice low carb
Overall: though BBC seemed to have done what I think they wanted to do with this, to me I don't think this was executed to it's potential.

Appearance: burnt orange color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which settled off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sweet peach with a little bit of tart underneath accompanied by some light vanilla/lactose/marshmallow sweet whiffs and a little bit of biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to light tart quality flanked by a little bit of biscuity sweetness; finishes like liquified peach pie with a hint of booze in there
Texture: medium bodied - maybe just a touch under with some sessionability about it; good smoothness with nothing distracting; good low carb
Overall: nice enough milkshake IPA that I think BBC seemed to nail down correctly.

Appearance: murky dark orange to amber color with a quarter finger's worth of some foam with some big bubbles inside all of which die off at a decent pace and no lace is left
Aroma: lemony to pear to guava sweet and tart notes with some lacto/yogurty tones and some salt
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fair tart to sweet to semi-salty quality; finishes meshing those noted fruits together and a pinch of salt in there
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also some salty & tart nicks to the tongue - nothing overbearing
Overall: BBC might say this is not a smoothie style beer but it's also not a true gose. However, I don't mind this as a fruited tart ale with some salt thrown in it.

Appearance: glossy dark yellow to slightly orange with a quickly dieing head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: some passion fruit sweetness with a touch of tart, some pineapple, mango and papaya fruity sweet tones; some lactose/vanilla
Flavor: mostly meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to a light brush of tart from some passion fruit and how the pineapple seems a little bit over ripe; finishes passion fruity and some pineapple & mango with loads of cream
Texture: light to medium bodied, slightly sessionable; good smoothness and nothing distracting, good low carb
Overall: another fairly good "milkshake IPA" by BBC, I might be able to come back to this.

Appearance: opaque orange thickness with a slim cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated nicely but barely left any lace
Aroma: thick orange juice with some tangerine notes; sweet cream/lactose rounds it out
Flavor: the prior noted aromas are meshed together very nicely; finishes like creamy orange juice, somewhat like an orange creamsicle (I think that's what they were going for anyways)
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; very smooth along the tongue with an appropriate amount of cream to smooth out any bitterness
Overall: I'm not usually a fan of "milkshake IPA's" but this was definitely one of the better ones I've had in life and leave to BBC to brew a balanced one.

Appearance: milky dark yellow color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: strawberry sweet and tart tones then a bigger dose of sweet cream/lactose & vanilla than in regular Peak Nostalgia
Flavor: matches the aromas together in a big sweet creamy manner; finishes with the strawberries leaning into the sweet cream & lactose
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, extremely smooth along the tongue, very low hop bitterness
Overall: pretty much the same thing as Peak Nostalgia just a bigger ABV and way more sweet cream/lactose & vanilla; however, I do believe Peak Nostalgia is a little bit better.

Appearance: cloudy amber color with a quarter finger of eggshell white foamy head which dissolved nicely but didn't leave any lace
Aroma: vanilla/lactose/mocha whiffs up front then some chocolate tones; subtle roasted coffee-ish tones further underneath
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas pretty sweet; finishes leaning into the sweet flavors
Texture: medium bodied, fairly sessionable; good smoothness - nothing really distracting anywhere; good carb level
Overall: while it works for what Burlington was going for, was I entirely thrilled about this one? Eh...I guess I could come back to in a pinch.
