How is this beer even a 2? This is exactly like short fuse milkshake ipa. It tastes weird. Awful aftertaste. Thin body. However, they hide alcohol content well but never going back. The drive isn’t worth it.

On tap at the brewery on 02/10/18 served in a 12oz. tulip.
Look- A cloudy dark yellow with a finger of creamy white foam. Thick lacing is left behind.
Smell- Orange zest, passionfruit, vanilla and mild floral.
Taste- Orange slice, vanilla, marshmallow and a hint of floral in the finish.
Feel- Pillowy soft and creamy smooth.
Overall- Not the best in the Meme series in my opinion, but still very good and worth a try. A tad artificial tasting from the gummies for me, but candy fans may really appreciate it.

Appearance - The beer poured a orange copper color with white carbonation visible.
Taste - being made with candy, it smells like candy orange.
Taste - Insane! At the front, the orange dreamsicle presence is apparent. Slight better grassy hop occur toward the back. The creaminess makes me think of a milk stout. There is little bitterness and such a smooth feel.
Mouthfeel - The beer is very smooth and creamy.
Overall - It is not my favorite Meme, but very good.

Poured out of a 16 oz. can. Released today, 9/23/17. A milkshake IPA with orange cream gummies. Definitely a first for me.
Pours a clean haze of a golden orange color with two fingers of an off-white head.
Aroma pops of the orange cream gummies. Get the vanilla cream and the artificial orange. Quite weird to be smelling that in a beer honestly. Beyond that I pick up on some dankness, tangerine, and pineapple from the hops. Lactose sweetness, combined with the sweetness from the candy make this quite a sweet-smelling beer.
Taste brings plenty more of the orange cream gummies, but although there's more hop presence than the aroma would indicate, it leaves more to desire. Get the artificial orange flavor up front, along with some slight vanilla cream, dankness, tangerine, and and mango. The vanilla cream and orange candy flavor picks up in intensity as you get into the finish. Like the aroma indicated, this is quite a creamy and sweet beer. Not much bitterness at all.
Medium body. Creamy and soft. Sweet and smooth.
I had my doubts about this one, but overall it is pretty good. If you're not a fan of sweet beers, this probably wouldn't be for you, as the lactose and candy make this one very sweet. However, it is as advertised and I give them credit for trying something different.
