Feel Good Hit of the Summer
Woodland Empire Ale Craft

On-tap at the brewery taproom, served in a pub nonic. Pours an opaque, thick-bodied yellow/orange with a small ring of lacing. Strong impressions of vanilla and orange sweetness on the nose, pretty much overwhelm anything else, which isn’t bad. More of the same on the palate, very creamy from the oat addition and full of orange cream/creamsicle flavors with a mild bitterness on the finish. This is becoming more of a standard style for milkshake IPA’s (orange cream/dreamsicle) and this one is well-executed. A touch too sweet for me to drink a lot this.

Draft at brewery. Looks like milky orange juice, ring of finely beaded head. Aroma is equal parts vanilla and orange popsicle. Taste is mildly sweet with a smidge of orange peel. Creamy, velvety, silky, smooth. Wonderful body. I could ( but probably shouldn't) drink this all day.
