On tap at the brewery.
This was poured into a tall tulip.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy to cloudy orange/copper color with a sustaining finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a moderate pace. Lace was there, but slid somewhat gently.
The aroma had a nice sweet meshing of the vanilla beans to the orange pulp and mango flesh. Light lemon came in and about fairly nice. Touch of grassiness on the back end.
The flavor was moderately sweet bringing a subtle bitter juiciness of the orange and lemon. Mango was somewhat there, but stifled. Vanilla sweetness was somewhat there. Mild aftertaste of the vanilla bean but seemed to come across somewhat like extract.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Nice and low carbonation about it as expected. ABV felt on par. Finish was pretty smooth through the vanilla sweetness.
Overall, pretty nice DIPA done by Foam Brewers, definitely in the New England styled realm and one that I would come back to.

pour appears to be straight joooose, bright white head. pretty aromatic, scents and flavors of bubblegum, soft vanilla, lots of sweetness combing with fruity notes of mango, orange, lemon, and grapefruit creating a candied fruit like profile. has some mellow danky green herbaceous quality on the finish. super interesting stuff, bumping up the overall score for how unique this was.
