Had this at the Strange Brew Festival 2018. I had just had the white label hazy white dipa a few weeks earlier, so this looked similar to that, with a bunch of adjuncts thrown in to make it "strange brew" I guess. Simple conclusion: not as good as what was previously, the least good variant of the bunch.
Pours a hazy almost thick yellow appearance with 1/5" white head. Found the aroma to be weird and less hoppy than any other variant. Get that spice rack and lactose out of here please. It did hide the alcohol nicely.
Taste, lactose in an ipa? Does not belong. Too sweet. Same with all that spice rack bullshit. Tamarind, vanilla and lactose can get bent in an ipa. Salt? Can't taste it, but can't imagine how if I did, it would be fitting. Perhaps this might work in lesser amounts, but I dunno, if you could screw with your beers I'm not really into, and leave the good ones like Hopocalypse alone, that would be great.
