IPA brewed with wheat, oats, and lactose sugar. Hopped intensely with Citra and Mosaic. Conditioned atop heaps of delicious Mandarin and blood orange purées as well as Madagascar vanilla beans. Dreamt up in tandem with our best buds from Omnipollo in Stockholm, Sweden.

A: Juicy orange/yellow with rich white foam and sticky lacing.
N: Big time orange notes with some vanilla, mango and grapefruit.
T: Awesome flavors of orange/vanilla with some mango, grapefruit, and pineapple. Rounded out with a nice bitterness to balance out the sweet notes, making it very enjoyable.
M: Creamy and smooth, super refreshing. Light bitterness balances out beer perfectly.
O: This is like drinking an Orange Dreamsicle bar.

Pours a cloudy, vibrant orange juice color with a fat finger of antique white head that leaves some very solid soapy lacing.
Definite juicy, fresh orange in the nose with vanilla and cream behind.
Lots of fresh-squeezed orange again in the taste, again with vanilla and cream behind. It’s not creamsicle sweet in the traditional sense in any way. More like orange juice with some vanilla. There’s some light pine and herb in the finish.
Full bodied and pillowy with tight carbonation.
With this much citrus it’s the perfect cure for scurvy. More citrusy and acidic than creamsicle-y. A tasty beverage, but does not deliver as advertised.
