OUTSTANDING! It is a must try of a beer.

They take a batch of The Blood Orange Didjits IPA, and in the words of the master brewer they add, "vanilla, lactose, and magic."

Well the magic really ties it together because this is one of the best IPAs I have ever had. Unique and almost too smooth.

You are drinking a creamsicle IPA true and true. If this had a little bit more body too it, just a little it would be in the top five beers I have ever had. Well done, this needs to make it to distribution somehow because this is just incredible.

Great orange flavor! It's a variant of The Didjits, and it really does taste like a creamsicle. The mix of flavors works perfectly, and it's really an orange lovers dream.

Creamsicle version of the didjits blood orange IPA. Absolutely amazing but only available at the brewery or very limited release usually in a cask. I think this year a very few kegs didn't make it out into the marketplace.

Killboy is a spin-off of Burnt Hickory's wonderful Didjits Blood Orange IPA (and a damn cool punk tune), and an awesome one at that.

Somehow they manage to turn this one into a liquid orange creamsicle. I'm not going to pretend like I know how they did it, but I know I love it.

Burnt Hickory, if you're reading this, KEEP PRODUCING THIS!! Bottling it would be even better!

It pours a beautiful orange color, smells like vanilla, tastes like creamsicle, and goes down almost too easily for 7%.

Another home run for the guys at BHB!
