On tap at McGillicuddy's Irish Ale House, Williston, VT.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: orange haziness with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: strong citrusy hops, biscuity malts, light creamy tones
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet blend with a light finish of creamy to citrusy tones
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper, some smoothness and creaminess but super subtle hop assertion.
Overall: nice NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: great looking hazy orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some ligjht lace
Aroma: tangerine to orangey to slightly extra citrusy hoppiness with some grassy hop spiciness, light clean malts
Flavor: juicy combo of those prior noted aromas; finishes orangey to grassy hop spicy tones
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, juicy smooth along the tongue but I must admit this double dry hopping seems a bit weaker than some other double dry hoppings I've had
Overall: for the most part, this was a very nice beer I was just hoping for a stronger double dry hop to this beer.

Bottle to snifter.

Flavor: bitter and roasty with a little bit of licorice spice, super subtle sweetness but far underneath; finishes roasty with the bitter coffee tones and some of the licorice
Texture: medium bodied; good sipper, some smoothness but also a fair amount of dryness
Overall: I'd say a very nicely done RIS I'd return to.

Aroma: sweet and tart apricots, sweet and tart plums, creamy lactose sweetness
Flavor: meshes the sweetness of those fruits with the lactose and creamy sweet tones; finishes the same way
Texture: medium body, some sessionable, very smooth and creamy, the tartness barely hits the tongue in any sort of assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done milkshake IPA I would have again if I could.
