Very interesting strawberry creamy NE style IPA. Canned date 11/13/19. Pours a slightly orange-golden color with some fluffy white head and nice spotty lingering lacing. Smells of berry tropical hops - strawberry, blueberry, raspberry - as well as mango, guava, orange, pineapple and papaya. Also some malt, creamy vanilla and bread. Taste follows the nose, nice balance and not too sweet. Smooth slightly creamy soft mouthfeel with good carbonation. I liked the gentle addition of the strawberries to the mix here.

Gifted by @brewsoverhoes. Can date is 1/6/19, so I imagine it’s lost some punch, but it’s still enjoyable. Very cloudy light orange color with frothy lacing. Smell is orange and vanilla and not much else. Most prevalent flavor is orange, but it’s properly backed by the sweet vanilla. Easy drinking. Almost don’t know it’s a beer. Light to medium body, mildly mouth watering, minimal alcohol presence. Imagine a fresher can of this has a bigger flavor, but age has not hurt this one very much.

Pretty astonishing- tastes just like an orange creamsicle, but in a nice beery way. Not too sweet, nailed the flavors, and a nice citrusy hop finish and a creamy mouthfeel. Very well done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

12oz can from Sprayberry Bottle Shop (Marietta, GA). 11.99/ 4 pack. Canned 1/6/19. Served in a Wild Leap teku. Enjoyed 1/11/19.

Pours a soft, muted orange with copious foamy white head. A few wisps reach toward a thin halo with a few sizeable streaks of lace left behind.

Smells like orange push pop, citrus pulp, vanilla cream and a little cake. Not what I typically expect in an IPA but quite nice.

Flavors are indeed an interesting blend of mildly assertive IPA and orange sherbet. Orange peel, creamsicle, faint berries, sweet cream, cake and an occasional reminder of the abv.

Smooth, medium body with moderate carbonation. The aftertaste is like orange creamsicle with a sprinkling of citrus zest.

Another tasty IPA from Wild Leap. Truck Chaser successfully melds flavors of an orange creamsicle pop on top of a juicy IPA.
