Although this is listed as an American IPA, it borders on the NEIPA style, This is what they refer to as a "milkshake" beer, with lactose added. Overall th look is pretty good although my glass had almost no head, which was disappointing.

Smell was fruity, but very light. Kind of weak for the appearance.

Taste was strongly fruity, mostly apples and pears. There was also a slight sourness to it.

Mouthfeel was indeed like a milkshake, smooth and creamy.

Overall a good beer, although some claim to get notes of coffee and vanilla from it. I got none of that.
