On tap at the brewery. Hazy pale orange color. Smells of citrus and spices. Lighter feel. Has a kind of milky citrus taste. Definitely something new, I've had lactose beers before but they were usually darker styles.

Golden in color with a bright white head. The lacing is beautiful. The nose is rather sweet, but not as sweet as the taste. There is a bitterness in the follow up.

12oz can, New Belgium glass, canned 12/12/18.
The color, a brown tinted 100% opaque yellow, is certainly unique, while the head is downright creamy. Lace like a neglige.
Cloves stand out in the aroma. It’s a very tightly bound aroma, like a bundle of cinnamon stick, clove, and orange zest in mulled wine or cider literally and figuratively. Very strong orange zest, apricot, and orange creamsicle develops as it warms.
Slightly creamsicle, more orange zest, undertones of spice. Not overly sweet, but noticeable lactose. Milkshake isn’t an unfair comparison.
The mouthfeel is so soft. Some combination of yeast and lower carbonation. It finishes with a serious tingle.
Martin House certainly pushes the envelop. While I can’t say for certain, but I think this thing is crazy hopped but the lactose suppresses it. It also adds that vanilla and creamsicle
