Smooth easy drinking. Lovely citrusy taste

It says on the can it’s a DIPA with mango and vanilla for $3 and some change. That sucked me in plus it is a 19.2 oz (568 ml) can that is colorful and nice looking. This has a lot of mango with vanilla. It’s like a mango creamsicle. There are a couple problems tho. The vanilla tastes a little artificial. Second issue is I think they forgot to add the hoppy bite in my can. I think there is a touch. I think it’s really a hint+ at best. It does hide the abv very well. Overall I think it’s a double milkshake IPA that is missing any real hoppy bite. It looks like they use a Julian date code on the bottom of the can. 26008. So that is Jan 8, 2026. I wish they’d just standardized it.

This is mainly tropical with a little citrus thrown in. Leans towards medium+, slightly overripe, mango, light pineapple and just a touch of tangerine/orange. Light+ bitterness. Overall what is really nice is the fruity taste just lingers. Kind of simple but very good. No date on the can.

Nice tangy orange smell. Very creamy in the mouth with nice orange, and citrusy (lemon, tangerine) aromas. The bitterness is controlled and nicely done. Nice orange aftertaste. Very gentle beer, probably thanks to oats. Very nice IPA overall!
