This tastes a lot like an ice cream man ipa clone. Its creamy, milky slippery in mouthfeel. I dont get a lot of citrus, certainly not tangerine. It has that same alluring finish of backeast’s ice cream man and the same hint of hoppy green scallion sitting somewhere in the murk of cream. I think i prefer Ice cream man to this, this tastes a bit muted in comparison. Also the price point is not as good. Alvarium is making some fine brews but until they can get their prices down a bit I will likely buy something with more bang for the buck. Four pints of 5.5% for over 17 dollars seems silly.

16oz can. Pours a murky brownish orange with an inch of head. Lots of lacing. Tons of citrus in the nose, as advertised. Some peaches and cream as well. The taste is a blend of tangerine, grapefruit, cream, peach and doughy malts. Tangerine and malt finish. Medium body with lots of carbonation. Slightly oily mouthfeel.
