Pours a very hazed gold with a silver of Ivory colored head. Alright lacing and head retention
S: Plenty of Tropical fruit
T: Vanilla, oranges, like a cream sickle and dryness up front. More of the same as this warms, along with a little lime. Finishes with lime bitterness, a little vanilla cream soda and sweet Orange
MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, falls off a bit once warm
Drinks pretty easy, starts strong, fades a little down the stretch

Copper colored with a hazy complexion. There’s a half inch of creamy eggshell on top. I smell lactose, vanilla, and grassy hops. I’m tasting vanilla and lactose initially. It gives way to vegetal and earthy hops. The mouth offers a smooth and creamy experience.

stream of consciousness review here. was told to shake the hell out of this.
pours nice enough, the nitro kicks up a creamy pearl white head over a almost thick looking yellow-ish haze. not very bright but eh. my nose even gets near this and all i get is vanilla. some peach/apricot type things? but mostly vanilla. alrighty then.
phew do things not change on these first few sips. vanilla is just smacking me around currently, though there is some of that malt backbone that an ipa should have. a few sips later now and some of the hop fruitiness is poking through but still just overwhelming amounts of vanilla. calm down guys.
drinking creamy (as it should) and has a bitter aftertaste that feels a bit clashing, even if its what i wanted to begin with. i love 4 hands dearly but this is not my thing and really makes me want crown candy's milkshakes

I has this brew from a sixteen ounce aluminum can, seated outside at a local beer and pizza place. The appearance is of a milky-white, thick liquid, with a slight yellow-orange tint. Full and thick nitro head. The aroma is solidly vanilla, with a bit of pale malt behind. More vanilla comes out in the taste. It is sweet, but not overpowering. Full in body. Interesting, but a little too much vanilla.
