L - double IPA brewed with lactose, vanilla, and... waffle cones. Pours a dark orange haze brick. Classic Armada.
S - orange creamsicle, a heavy dose of vanilla, and sweet white bread. Hint of paint thinner.
T - rindy and sweet. Unbalanced bite offsets savory vanilla. Ripe peach makes an appearance shopping with zesty mango cream. Finish is dry and bitter.
F - lactose gives it a very smooth, low carbonation creaminess. Even vigorous swishing doesn't foam it up much. Supple.
O - I like the flavors here, but not how they're presented. Everything seems disjointed and confused. Overwhelming acidic bitterness beats any sweetness into submission, regardless of how delicious it is while it lasts. Fun beer though, and I think that was the point.
