16 oz can poured into a tulip pint glass. Picked up at a gas station as part of a mix-6 for $11. The date was impossible to read but I assume it was several months old. I expected the hops to be faded and for it not to come across as an IPA but there were definitely some slightly bitter, citrusy hops in both the aroma and flavor. Peach, sweet vanilla frosting, and a light amount of pie spices completed the flavor profile with a slight booziness. For a sweet, fruited, lactose IPA it worked very well and was quite tasty. Overall, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed drinking a full can of this. One of the better milkshake IPAs I've had for sure.

A: Poured into a nonic pint glass to a fairly hazy yellow beer which is topped by a dense and rocky three finger white ehad which fades slowly to a collar around the edge of the glass with minimal lacing
S: Smells of fruity and citrusy hops with some slight herbal notes, maybe a hint of peaches
T: Taste is peaches, cinnamon, and allspice with some herbal hops, sugary sweetness, some slight pine, and a hint of doughy malt. On the swallow there's more peaches, some oily citrusy and herbal hops, with some lingering sugary sweetness
M: This beer is on the light side of things and teeters on being watery at times. Carbonation is effervescent and slightly prickly while the beer has a fairly refreshing finish.
O: Overall this one is decent. It has some nice flavors but the adjuncts don't seem to mesh well with the base beer. Really not sure what they were going for but the base beer isn't that great either. Not worth visiting unless you want something really odd.

Aroma is peaches/fruit and mildly sweet/floral. The flavor is peaches, cinnamon/maple syrup, malts and a medium sweet/somewhat cloying/grapefruit hop finish.

16 oz. Can
Poured into a Tree House glass a pretty nice cloudy pale yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, mango, peach), cinnamon, slight vanilla, spices, nice diesel like. The taste is pretty nice hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, mango, pineapple, peach), vanilla, cinnamon, spices, pretty nice diesel like, nice little sweetness. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty brew. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake! Nice to see it around here.

Pours a hazy apricot color with a thick white head that lasts well and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is caramel and cinnamon. Flavor is vanilla frosting and a touch of peach and cinnamon. Virtually no hop bite. Feel is medium bodied, smooth. Overall definitely an odd beer, but I like it.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on May 11, 2019. IPA brewed with peaches, cinnamon and allspice. Well made just too odd for my palate.
