Howler from the brewery. A fully hazy golden yellow with a white head. Strong citrus aroma (orange, grapefruit), tropical fruit, piney hops. Creamy orange flavor, which I imagine is what they were going for, tropical flavor, fairly sweet (but not overly so). Works well.

Super hazy golden, orange and straw coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall tan head that caps the beer nicely above the 90 per cent opaque glowing body. Aroma of oranges, mangoes, papaya, melons and a very nice wheatie, oaty and rich sweetness, but the fresh hops and especially the fruity aspects in the nose here are great! Full-bodied; Very rich oaty and wheat malts here dominate with a very nice effervescence and a crisp dose of fruits with the oranges and mangoes strongest, but a good dry quality coupled by a lot of lactose and cream notes make this rich, robust and pretty complex. Aftertaste is very nice as well with an enjoyable hop bitterness from the alpha acids and a creamy, vanilla-y and lactosey sweetness that works out well and somehow avoids a 'creamsicle' like flavour somehow, even with a ton of orange and mango notes - those seem much stronger, especially on the finish, but the malts are nice as well and provide a good backbone for all the flavours here. Overall, a very nice beer - great to sample and shows very well for the style - still bitter, shows great sweetness, but the hops, fruit and lactose dominate in a nice way - great even for a 'creamsicle' hater like me and great from my home state of Michigan! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Beer Baron in Livonia, Michigan on 23-October-2022 for US$5,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-January-2023.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish orange gold with a finger of soapy white head that lingers. Lovely orange creamsicle aromas with punchy citrus and zest on the nose. Smooth on the palate with a nice mix of orange citrus, zest and pith and creamsicle on the finish.
