Big Tom's Milkshake of the Month: Orange Creamcicle
Three Magnets Brewing

 

 

Appearance is a cloudy golden with a generous off-white head with great retention and average lacing. Orange is the dominant aroma with some subtle vanilla. Flavors precisely match the nose. Body is medium with good carbonation. Finishes with a lingering orange flavor and a minimal amount of bitterness.

 

 

The beer pours out a murky golden orange color, with 1 finger of white head(looks like oj)--------------- the aromas are of orange and vanilla ice cream(smells so good)------------ the flavors follow the nose with tons of orange and vanilla(it taste just like a creamsicle)the beer has a medium mouthfeel with almost no bitterness at all--------------- overall this beer is world class - WOW!!! What a tasty milkshake this was for being double dry hopped I thought it might be a little green but nope, the hops, orange and vanilla worked together in perfect harmony

L: Pours a dark straw yellow in color. About 2 fingers of head which quickly dissipated. Nice amounts of residual lacing. I can swirl the beer and revive the bubbly head, which is a plus.
S:Pretty much exactly as you'd expect. The nose is abundant with that freshly squeezed orange juice aromas. The vanilla is detectible as well, enabling the beer to smell like a orange&cream fifty-fifty bar. Very appetizing smell-wise.
T: Initial flavors are of vanilla beans and a orange flavor that reminds me of sunny delight. Though not the fresh orange flavor I was hoping for, this does strongly resemble an orange creamsicle. Finish is semi-sweet with a lingering vanilla flavor.
F: Soft and smooth. Nice weight to the beer with an appreciated tongue-coating elements. Carbonation is nicely implemented without being overly done.
O: I was happy to try this beer. I haven't had many offerings from 3 magnets, but this was something I am enjoying. I am grateful to have tried. Cheers!
