Bottle from a supermarket in California. Aroma is strong orange creamsickle with orange zest, tangerine, and creamy vanilla. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet and bitter. Body is medium. Their goal to create the beer equivalent of an orange creamsickle was definitely attained, very fruity and creamy. I found it interesting but a bit much overall, a novelty beer.

Tap at Hopman. Never sure citrus and sweet mix but this is enjoyable. Nice initial orange, but with sweet creaminess in the background. Very distinctive. Light citrus hoppiness. Extra points for novelty.

650 ml bottle.
Pours orange gold, impressive head of foam, lacing is also good.
I smell orange blossoms, vanilla, overall, a nose that suggests some bitterness.
Cream soda and orange blossoms taste, pretty bitter, finishes with more orange than vanilla, which is good for me.
Good mouthfeel, good different Lager.

Pours an only slightly-hazy golden yellow, with good-sized, though fast dissipating head. Orange aroma is quite powerful, with some grassiness and pine/spruce hops--kind of smells a bit like soap. Soap is also kind of what the flavor reminds me of. There's a strong orange element that clashes with the hops--kind of like drinking Pine Sol, I'd imagine. This one doesn't work for me.

Over the top, too much for me.

Draft: Tangerine and vanilla creme nose, not subtle. Clear amber, thin head. Clementine, hints of vanilla, dry. Medium body, easy carbonation. Too fruity to session, too dry to really enjoy.

220z Bottle Hazy golden light orange,full sandy colored head. Some flowery orange in the aroma along with decent citrusy hops. Plenty hoppy and bitter, this is a pretty bold IPA as it is. the orange comes through inbetween the big hop bitterness and the vanilla is subtle. A nice twist but a little lost in such an aggressive beer style.

Bottle from Albertsons. Nice on a warm evening. Bright orange golden body, one finger head lingers. Pungent orange peel aroma. Taste brings more oranges and a hint of Camilla, as well as some nice sharp bitterness that leaves your tongue feeling like you licked a 9 volt battery. Very pleasant.
