1 PINT can
Served in a stemless wine glass
This beer pours a yellowish shade of orange. It is turbid and topped with an inch of tan head that leaves nice lacing.
I get plenty of vanilla. Tropical fruit notes waft from the glass as well.
Tropical fruit flavors with a healthy dose of vanilla. I am surprised that it isn't sweeter.
Fuller bodied with a creamy mouthfeel
Nice milkshake IPA. It has lactose and vanilla but lets the hops still come through nicely.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on June 21, 2019. The latest blown-out chapter of the ongoing telepathic conversation with Omnipollo.

Received as an extra in a trade. Canned on 5/24/19.
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a nice barely cloudy golden hue with a huge three finger white head that faded slowly to leave sticky lacing and a thicker sudsy blanket.
S - Aromas of vegative, oniony hops thanks to the Mosaic. Not really getting any vanilla notes or lactose for that matter. Just a decent amount of Mosaic hops along with flashes of earthy, spicy hops. Really lackluster.
T - Taste is loads more hops, flashes of spicy earthy pine but mostly onion vegative Mosaic. The finish has a very light creamy lacto and vanilla sweetness, but it also has a decent amount of alcohol flash going on.
M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, a bit creamy. Alcohol is hidden decently and while this doesn't feel like 10%+ it certainly feels like it's above 8%.
O - Overall this was a really underwhelming beer from Tired Hands. I used to trade pretty hard for growlers of the lacto ipas years ago but this...this is a shell of what I remember those beers being. Nowhere near as balanced as the mind remembers or my reviews for those beers all suggest. Really a bummer, I used to absolutely love these milkshake beers from Tired Hands but this isn't what I remember at all. A real shame.

Pours semi hazy orange ish yellow(I’m color blind).
Big soft white head that sticks around. Really makes a nice feel on the tounge.
Smell is muted yougurt and vanilla. Some fruity ness
Taste is vanilla yogurt. A little fruit and some dry finish. Pretty sweet on the front pallet but the dryness keeps you coming back. Pretty well balanced for what it is.
Wouldn’t know this is 10%. Super drinkable in that regard.
Good beer not great

Pouring from a 16 oz. can into a Willi Becher style glass, this beer pours out a slightly hazy, bright orange. It forms two fingers worth of dense and creamy, off white colored crown that leaves a heavy wall of lacing as it slowly recedes.
The nose is rather underwhelming but offers slight vanilla, skunky peach.
The taste comes in with heavy vanilla; much more prominent than the nose but still honestly not as much as I would’ve expected for being triple vanilla. Cream, light orange and peach.
The mouthfeel here is the best aspect. Hugely thick, wildly creamy, smooth with no ABV in sight.
Overall, this kind of bounced around a lot on the ratings for me. As stated previously, the mouthfeel is kind of the saving grace. The nose and flavor are pretty muted for something of this nature.
