Can from Jeremy. Hazy pour, bubbly head fades to flat. Fruity aroma, stone fruit. Taste is fruity and juicy, nice feel, slick. Dull to look at but full of character.

Poured from 16oz can into a tulip. There does not appear to be a canning date present.
Appearance: hazy orange hue with minimal head and some floaties hanging around in the body. Hazy indeed, but it could be cleaned up a little.
Smell: there's definitely peach in here, but also a big dose of citrusy and tropical hops. I get notes of guava and mango in there, too. Yum!
Taste: hoppy up front with a bit of sourness in the middle; the peach comes through but I think the hops and fruit are at odds a bit here. The finish is more bitter than I normally think of for the style. Not bad, but not their best milkshake IPA.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent level of carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: not a bad beer, but again, I don't think it holds a candle to some of their other entries in the category.

Below a one-finger head lies a true hazy (not opaquely murky like the majority out there). I would not go as far as milkshakes here but it was lovely smooth. I liked the fruits but actually thought this one less peach on the nose and palate than the Hawaiian Crunk. Still nicely done!

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on August 2, 2018. Milkshake style brewed with oats in the mash and lactose in the kettle provide a silky smooth body. Fermented with a Juicy strain of yeast and packed full of hops from start to finish. Finished with a touch of vanilla.

Feel: Medium carbonation and body, a hint of sweetness upfront with some hop bitterness in the finish.

Really nice beer and sets the bar for milkshake IPAs.
