Lost Farmer Brewing Co. "Fair Trade" DIPA. There is a picture of a pear and and a peach on the label, but I didn't think it would be this sweet (though somehow it is 10% ). I purchased it at the new craft beer store and smoke shop in my neighborhood, which has a small bit decent selection.
UPDATE: finished 2/3 and tossed the rest. Really wasn't enjoying it, too sweet.

Just got back from a trip to Vermont with several coolers full of Foam, Hill Farmstead, Alchemist, BBCO, Freak Folk, etc. Thinking of starting with the Hill Farmstead Double Nelson; I love their single-hop stuff, even if Nelson Sauvin isn't my hop of choice.
I suppose you don't consider milkshake IPAs to be properly made. Sounds like you need something from Decadent Ales.
Actually, a good chunk of properly-made triple IPAs are pushing it in terms of sweetness for me, though it's nice to have a boozy, hazy, hoppy bomb once in a while.

I have had some tasty ones, but that's just too much sugar to drink on my own.
It seemed a lot of breweries moved away from lactose IPAs (and lactose-laden fruited sours) a couple of years back, most in favor of other additives... but I've seen them making a comeback. I was at a brewery Friday where someone ordered a "strawberry milkshake IPA," and then when it came out, said, "Wait, I thought it was going to be an actual milkshake... not a beer?" (Some folks I know would have immediately piped up with, "That's not a beer, buddy, no matter what they tell you.")

I leave for AVL a on Saturday. We will be there a month. Last year we visited a dozen breweries and I liked all but two. In addition to revisiting favorites, we will be seeking out new places to visit. Plus online I found a pub that serves deep fried deviled eggs. I must try them.
