The label “strawberry guava milkshake” IS accurate. Very fruity, apricot/strawberry/ and what actually tastes like quava. Great execution of a not too overpowering IPA. Even if fruity IPA’s aren’t your style, and interesting glass with awesome color. The “milkshake”/lacto component softens the bitterness of the strawberry/guava. Feel is nothing spectacular. However a great beer, will look for again.

On tap at World of Beer in Milford, CT.
This one pours a slightly hazy orange color, with a small head and lots of lacing.
It smells nearly entirely like orange juice. There's no complexity to this one at all.
The taste runs similar. It just feels like slightly sour orange juice- kind of like if you leave orange juice out for too long. There's no bitterness or any complexity to it.
This has a pretty juicy mouthfeel, with a normal level of carbonation.
This is pretty bad. Not recommended.

On tap at Main Pub - really enjoyable beer. Hoppy with a little funk - nice medium/full body. Might be a little hard on the rating, but everyone and their brother is making a good New England IPA in the region.

32oz growler bought at the brewery a few hours ago. Pours a semi hazy orange color with very little head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is a nice blend of berries and citrus thanks mostly to the Mosaic hops. Smells boozey and slightly sweet. The taste is lots of the Mosaic hops up front. Berries, passionfruit, guava and tangerine. Boozey. More Mosaic hops at the end with some piney hop notes. Some light bready notes. Dry mouthfeel with a small amount of carbonation. Overall, a fantastic Imperial IPA I hope gets made again and is not just for their 1 year Anniversary.
