Received as an extra in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy golden straw hue with a thin white head that fades to leave light lacing and thin wisps.

S - Big aromas of lactose and really tart lime and citrus. Nice hop melon and citrus as well. Good vanilla. The nose is bright but takes some getting used to.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of lactose up front along with nice vanillabefore becoming very bright tropical limeade. Really good bright grapefruit and melon from the hops, finish is lingering lime vanilla hops. Love the finish.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, creamy, lightly bitter.

O - Overall this was a solid enough sour ipa, good tart citrus really bright lime. Quite enjoyable

Serving Type: can

Thanks to rudzud
Light fizzy head, medium low retention, little foamy lacing, cloudy hazy light blond orange color

Nose super limey, light orange, mango, tropical, plenty of lactose again, little grapefruit pith, light citrus rind, hint melon, tart notes

Taste big lactose and vanilla out front, then tart limeade, little sour, lemony lime and generic citrus zest, light doughy malt, some grapefruit and fruity sour candy like sweet tarts, hops bring nice citrus and tropical, little melon, light bitterness, cereal fruity pebbles, light lactic acid, tart finish and a touch of flemmy acidity, lingering all of the fruits citrus and little vanilla, thankfully the lactose disappeared

Mouth is medium to a little lighter bod, medium fizzy carb, light acidity

Overall pretty solid taste, nose was too much lactose and vanilla, but the taste was very harmonious
