16 oz can from Jeremy. Bright orange golden with small patchy head, rings of lacing. Sweet aroma, citrus, vanilla. Taste adds lacto creaminess, and the orange and vanilla indeed make this much like an orange creamsicle. Creamy,smooth, sweet

16 oz can poured. This beer is exactly what they say it is. A creamsicle for sure. Tons of vanilla and orange fruit. Milkshake to the max. It's too similar. It's a little too sweet for me up front. It smooths out a bit, and the linger is a pure orange vanilla. Pretty good overall, but I think it was a little overkill on the milkshake. It's advertised, so I can't hate it for it. Not bad.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Smells much like a orange/vanilla creamsicle. Near full bodied. Flavor is vanilla/orange. Hoppy in a way it's not for me to parse. More bitter than you'd think a creamsicle would be. :) I've not liked a lot of creamsicle ales, but given the abv and the unusually nice balance of citrus and vanilla (and I don't usually like strong vanilla in my ale), this is a winner. I predict it will not win gold at GABF, but I might be wrong. I am drinking it happily.

The most forward orange vanilla milkshake IPA I've had I think. Basically 99% vanilla and orange. In good and bad ways, kinda wasn't in the mood for ice cream.

16oz can pours out a hazy orange color topped with a white head. Nose is sweet orange cream sickle icecream lots of sweetness. Taste is more of the nice sweet orange vanilla cream milkshake notes.
