Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple to mango to papaya hop notes with a light creamy whiff underneath
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to lean towards more of tropical fruity sweet vibe while seemingly keeping the creamy/lactose thing a bit more at bay; finishes about the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper a bit; good smoothness with nothing there distracting; good low carb and low hop bitterness
Overall: if this is a milkshake IPA then it's one of the better ones out there as I'm glad the vanilla/lactose thing didn't become overbearing as many of this style tend to, so yes, I would return to this one.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange color with a little bit of that "cardboard" looking haze to it; a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely and left some light lace
Aroma: pineapple to super sweet mango tones with a floral to lemony middle and a creamy sweet lactose/vanilla intertwining
Flavor: seems full meshed between the fruits and creamy lactose/vanilla sweetness; finishes about the same
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe closer to medium bodied; somewhat sessionable; very smooth along the tongue with barely anything distracting anywhere; low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: though I'm not always a "full blown fan" of the style, I'd say this is tolerable to me even though there's a stronger lactose/vanilla tone to it than I was expecting.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick hazy burnt orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tangerine to melon to passion fruity sweet hoppy tones with a light lemony and slightly honey-ish tone in the middle; subtle clean malts underneath
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes semi-juicy with some tangerine to lemony to honey notes
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; some smoothness but also a little bit of noticeable hop bitterness - maybe just a bit under medium; good carb
Overall: pretty nicely done TIPA for the most part but if they get that hop bitterness assertiveness down a bit more this could be one of the extremely good ones!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: yellow clear color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemony to passion fruity and mango-like with a lighter tone of tangerine hoppiness; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet with an undertone of tart quality; finishes tangerine-like and lemony
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with nothing distracting anywhere; good carb level
Overall: not bad as a filtered DIPA I could come back to this.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: yellow chill haze color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light notes of mixed citrusy to subtle lime with a light little bit of sweet wheat
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to slightly funky sweet quality; finishes slightly wheaty and lime-ish
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness with a pinch of tartness but it's pretty non-offensive
Overall: not a bad APWA, I think I could come back to.

On tap at Foam Brewers on 03/29/2018.
Poured into a stange.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet earthiness, some coffee notes, some baker's chocolate and a little bit of molasses
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a bitter to roasty to sweet quality; finishes semi-dry with a note of molasses
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness with a touch of earthy grip to the tongue - mostly non-offensive
Overall: pretty good Euro dark lager I could have again.
