Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-bright yellow-ed cardboard haziness with a semi-fluffy white frothy to bubbly head which popped and dissipated adequately then a rim of light foam glossed the top of the glass.
Aroma: some mango juice, orange juice, pineapple and a little bit of tangerine sweetness; slight danky undertone, then some vanilla/lactose sweetness gently slides in for a light balance
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a gentle sweet creamy fruited tone to a semi-juicy mango/pineapple/orangey vibrant hop sweetness; finishes fruited creamy toned and has a little bit of citrusy zest to it
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; some smoothness with an ever so slight edge of creaminess to it then a dusting of some hop bitterness assertiveness telling me this is an IPA
Overall: man, I can count on Brix City to do a "milkshake IPA" correctly! Of course I would come back to this! Only thing that had me wondering about this at all was that "semi-skeptical looking head" - hmmmmm, the bubbles, guys, the bubbles, eeeeeh, I wince just a wee bit about that.
