Mini Creamsicle is a rendition of Juli-ish featuring a careful dose of whole vanilla beans utilized to impart a subtle and pleasing undertone of vanilla upon the base beer. Pouring a vibrant orange color in the glass, it carries flavors and aromas of orange creamsicle, mango candy, and mixed tropical fruit. Made from just water, malt, hops, yeast, and whole vanilla beans, Mini Creamsicle is a lovely showcase for what simple ingredients paired with careful craftsmanship can do in a malt beverage. Keep it cold and enjoy it fresh!

Very flavorful for 5.2%. Lots of orange citrus and creamy vanilla. Perfect carbonation. Overall a delicious, flavorful, and light bodied iPA. Glad I tried it.

Canned 7/26/22. "Mini beer" stamped on the bottom of the can
It's funny to me how there's now a family of fruited IPAs from Tree House in the same way their base beers belong to particular families. This one is a creamsicle version of Juli-ish, which should be interesting given the gentler Pale Ale base as opposed to the NEIPA base of the others. Let's see what it's all about
Pours a hazy orange gold with 3 fingers of creamy off white head that slowly fades to a cap and leaves decent lacing
The vanilla is absolutely huge in the nose, but not in an artificial way. I'm picking up on aromas of French vanilla, orange candy, crackery malt, grassy hops, light pineapple juice, and mango
Unfortunately in taste, this one is a bit lacking, feeling bland up front and dominated by vanilla on the back end. On the front end of the sip I'm tasting orange juice, sweet vanilla, bready malt, and light peppery hops. The swallow brings notes of roasted vanilla, bready malt, orange candy, peppery hops, and light caramel
A medium light body pairs with moderate carbonation, resulting in a crisp beer. Finishes dry, but it's mostly due to the astringent vanilla
Yeah, this one isn't really for me. I expected more balance from it so I think that's why I was a bit disappointed. Far from the worst I've ever had, but not great

Picked-up two cans at Tree House in Sandwich for about ten dollars. My two hundred and sixty fourth brew from these guys. A miss for me, liked Creamsicle much better, this is watered down, too much vanilla.

16 oz can poured into a tulip pint glass. Pours a hazy yellow/orange with a fluffy, long-lasting head. Aroma and flavor feature vanilla bean, orange sherbet, citrus rind, and light wheat. Mouthfeel is smooth and a bit on the watery side. Overall it's a successful low-abv hazy with a load of authentic-tasting vanilla.

Sweet tropical hoppy, slightly malty, orange citrus, and nice kick of floral vanilla nose on this one! Taste follows with a soft and malty, prominent vanilla, and citrus hoppy bitter swallow. Unfortunately, The vanilla notes are overpowering and darn near astringent on the backend. This dominates the finish and doesn't let you appreciate the other aspects of the beer. This one is a miss IMO.

Much as I adore Tree House beers, I found this one disappointing. Too heavy with the vanilla for me. Tastes artificial.

Pours hazy, pale orange gold in color with one quarter inch head. Taste is pale malt, vanilla and oranges. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter. Really good pale ale. Vanilla jumps but doesn't carry as much flavor as Creamsicle. Great for a lower abv offering.
