A Note on This Beer

When I was a kid, one of my favorite treats in the world was an orange and vanilla swirl cone. I’d beg my parents to stop every time we drove by the ice cream shop. Luckily, it didn’t take much convincing: who doesn’t love that tangy-sweet, bright orange sherbet and luscious vanilla ice cream duet?

So, when I heard that Hop Butcher For the World made a double-hopped version of their Double Blazed Orange Milkshake IPA with “EXTRA vanilla and EXTRA oranges” I almost booked a flight straight to Darien, IL!

No joke, I’ll go to any and all lengths for a luscious creamsicle treat. Especially when it includes adult additions of hazy orange Citra Hops, hand-selected dank Strata Hops, and a big bold 9.5% ABV!

Every thick, slurpy mouthful bursts with fresh OJ pucker, sweet vanilla swirl, and slight hop bitterness. I’m not the only one drooling over this melty treat, either:

“So this is love... Creamsicle in a can...yes!” @E.C.
“Wish I had more stars to give. And more of this to drink.” @Matt K.
“Reigning King of Milkshakes!” @Roo M.

Lucky for me — and all Hazy orange and vanilla Milkshake maniacs living outside Illinois — I don’t have to fly across the country for cans of this orange-cream dream. We have a stash right here!

Wow. In keeping with the trend, this beer has absolutely turned my opinion on IPA drinkers. Once thought to be a snobby and exclusive club—I now understand your ways! This brew proved to me that an ipa isn’t just about being punched in the mouth with hops. There’s a smoothness here, and an incredibly fresh finish on this one. Orange creamsicle, with a wonderfully balanced hop finish. Well done, and take pride in winning over a lifelong brown ale, stout, lager drinker.

Tastes as advertised. Imagine taking a hoppy ipa, toning it down slightly, squeezing in some fresh squuezed/filtered orange juice anding a tablespoon of sugar, stirring and there you have it

Yesss. This is too good I almost chugged it. It’s more orange creamy than most of the smoothie sours I have ordered. It’s so good... like a dreamcicle IPA. Best one I have tried and it’s super boozy.

Solid milkshake IPA with lots of orange and vanilla flavor.

Best smelling beer I've ever had, no question. But the taste didn't deliver on the promises the nose made. The hop bite comes in right as the creamsicle taste builds, spoiling it really. Still good, but feels disjointed

Super smooth. Big time vanilla with tint of orange. Taste is an orange Julius

Cool combination of juicy brews: Orange creamsicle on top of lightly bitter, hazy IPA. Sweetness dominates up front, but citrus hops begins to creep in as it finishes. Tangy, lightly sticky as it fades.

They liquified a cream sickle and placed in a can. Nothing more to say. Fantastic

Great orange juice flavor definitely dances on the sweet side but great NEIPA.

Towards the end it got a little too sweet for me, but it’s an excellent dessert beer. The abv is nearly undetectable so if you really like sweet drinks be careful, it’ll only take a can or two to get you buzzed.

Undrinkable for me. Like someone else stated, there is a unpleasant Metallic Aftertaste that ruins whatever flavors are present in the beer. The smell is the only positive I can give. The flavor upfront is bitter orange peel along with a unpleasant cream taste. It could have worked if it was more leaning towards Pulpy Sweet OJ, bit this just doesn't work for me. Especially being Double Hopped.

A true, blue vanilla explosion! Lost the citrus on the initial taste, or would’ve ranked higher. That said, it was damn good.

Flavor overload. I'd personally prefer a bit less vanilla but cant deny that this is a well made beer.

I’m convinced that this isn’t a beer and is instead just a straight gift from the gods. Tastes just like an orange creamsicle milkshake. Forgot I was even drinking a beer

This is a spot on orange creamsicle style IPA. While it doesn’t really add anything to the style, it executes it extremely well by giving this a very enjoyable creamy body with a bit of heft to it that’s just right and a really nice sweet, but hoppy, citrusy orange flavor.

They hit the Orange creamsicle taste SPOT ON! For me the hops hit first and then the orange. It finishes off with the creamy vanilla and wanting to take the next sip!
