Truck Chaser: Creamsicle Double IPA
Wild Leap Brew Co

 

Could’ve sworn I rated this one before. It’s not bad, it’s not great. Pretty good for a summer beer. Definitely has the orange and vanilla aspect down, lives up to the milkshake part of milkshake IPA because it’s sweet and thicker. Good, but nothing to shake a stick at.

 

Loved it. Good balance of the various creamsicle flavors. Very drinkable.

 

Pours a medium golden color, appropriate foamy head. Aroma is like a creamsicle: juicy orange and creamy vanilla. Taste is tangerine, ample vanilla, cream / lactose, fairly sweet, hops are tropical fruits. Lactose adds to a creamy texture, a bit over carbonated. Overall a tasty creamsicle DIPA.

Very attractive pour. Glowing yellow with two fingers of lasting head that left behind thin lacing. Smells vaguely of orange soda. This was canned in late January, so presumably the aroma has faded a bit, but it still smells quite nice. Taste is in line with what I would have expected based on the beer's description. Smooth and creamy with nice carbonation. Very little bitterness. Hints of a cream soda taste, and I still get a carbonation vibe that reminds me of orange soda. Overall, this is quite tasty and has held up well.

Very nice creamy IPA with lactose - I’m really starting to appreciate this brewery. No date printed on can. Pours a thicker creamy yellow hazy color with some thick fluffy white head and beautiful rings of lingering lacing that lasted forever. Smells of ripe mango, orange, grapefruit, guava and melon. Also some malt, creamy vanilla, bread, weaker floral and herbal hops. Taste follows the nose, excellent balance and depth. Juicy and creamy. Smooth sticky mild mouthfeel, coats the palate, perfect carbonation. Very tasty and enjoyable, the addition of lactose really helped the mouthfeel.
