It's well after five o'clock in my zip code.

New Belgium Sparkling Lime Lager
Mrs. Tripping loves a porch-pounder and therefore grabbed a sixer of these. An extremely mouth-watering beer, especially ice cold. Could be gulped down by the gallon. 4.4% ABV. Has a role to play, and plays it well.
"Amazing what a minute can do."

As I promised RJ199:
InterGalactic-Commonwealth Brewery
Not quite local but I get Nrrrrvous thinking about it
Credit-RJ199; thanks!!
Style-DIPA but can't decide more NE or west coast style; I'm leaning more NEDIPA
Stemware-Stella snifter
Appearance-slightly hazy; modest, foamy head; yellow orange
Mouthfeel-fruity; pithy
Aromas-grapefruit, pineapple, peach and mango
Tastes-see aromas; rindy/zesty bitterness
Hops-Galaxy, Comet, Hallertau Blanc (this probably imparts the white wine/grape notes RJ199 mentioned
IBU-might be 60
ABV-8.7%; doesn't feel like it, yet
Overall impression- I could drink 4 of these
Ymm, Beer rating-low cat 3, easy; doesn't quite reach the Veil or Burial plateau but this is an excellent IIPA; will look for more Commonwealth brews

More milkshake IPA edjumacation for all of us, plus another list:
https://www.ratebeer.com/beerstyles/ipa-milkshake/143/
"The Milkshake India Pale Ale (IPA) is a distinct flavored hazy IPA substyle where the haze doesn't come from the same brewing process than New England IPAs. Whereas hops as flavoring and aroma agents are the key factors while hop remnants and other metabolized compounds are used as body agents for NEIPAs, the Milkshake IPA use fruits and vanillins for flavoring and aroma, and the mouthfeel comes from lactose. The hops usually contribute to the fruity flavor and aroma, but the milkshake part comes from the sweetness, mouthfeel and fruitiness overall. The haze comes from the added lactose and from the pectin of the fruit that doesn’t break down. It can even be augmented by using grist additions of flaked barley or oats."
I don't like using ratebeer which is partially owned by InBev, but beeradvocate had no list .

Hi, all!
I am tentatively setting the date for the June 2020 Virtual Pub: Saturday, 6/20/2020. The plan is to open the pub at 11:00 AM.
Thanks to devildeac for the link that explained the Milkshake IPA. Here's another that is fairly recent:

I hope a visit to The Brewers Kettle in High Point will bear fruit in my quest for some beers to review.
Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!
Tomorrow's featured brewery/taps/growler specials at Bottle Rev Lake Boone Trail:
"This Wednesday we are featuring Wiseman Brewing. Wiseman only opened a few years ago but has quickly become one of our favorite NC breweries. We’ve yet to have a beer from them we didn’t enjoy. We will have Chosen Vehicle Pale Ale along with two brand new beers: Thrilling Daydreams DIPA & New Eyes Sour with Boysenberry!"
Any of you Winston-Salem folks have any of the above 3 beers yet?

Fortunately, I'm +1 in the milkshake IPA "in stock" category as RJ199 included one of these in our recent trading session:

The beer, not the glassware.

Late to the party:
Sour to the People-Lost Province Brewing Company
Local when the above peep bought it
Credit-fuse; thanks!!
Style-sour NEIPA
Temporary residence-16 ounce can
Stemware-boring pint glass
Appearance-diluted pineapple juice; modest, foamy head
Mouthfeel-beer smoothie lite
Tastes-pineapple/orange juice cocktail (not quite 100% juicy); very mild pucker; some pineapple core and guava; not that sweet
IBU-12; I'm not sure I've ever had an IPA with IBUs that low unless it was a Veil IIPA claiming 0 IBU and, on that, I'll quickly call shenanigans
ABV-6.6%
Overall impression-perhaps a bit less enthusiastically received than fuse but still a very good beverage
Ymm, Beer rating-upper tier cat 2; crowded field; yada, yada; I'd have another and happily accept another delivery of some more Lost Province offerings

Why I'm sipping a baltic porter next, I'm not sure. Wait, I know; RJ199 included it in his trader package last week .

Salty Turtle’s NEIPA
Called Surf City Sunrise. Sold in four-packs of 16-ounce cans. Bright gold, but hazy. Super-foamy head. Flavors of pineapple and mango, offset by the bite of the hops. 6.6% ABV. I would guess the IBUs are upper 50’s. Solid Cat 2 beer.
"Amazing what a minute can do."
I had no idea there were this many baltic porters:
