We doubled down on our collaboration with Jersey Freeze this year to bring you not one, but TWO tasty summertime treats to celebrate National Soft Serve Ice Cream Day ????!

Creamsicle Ice Cream Milkshake IPA marries the classic flavors of vanilla soft serve ice cream with a swirl of sweet, citrusy orange sorbet.

We brewed this hazy, orange colored IPA with a heavy hand of protein rich malted wheat and oats along with milk sugar to give it a creamy, soft-serve like mouthfeel sensation.

A juicy blend of citrus-forward hops were reserved for whirlpool and dry hop additions to accentuate the sweet hoppy aromas and flavors while keeping the perceived bitterness very low.

After fermentation, Creamsicle Ice Cream Milkshake IPA was conditioned on vanilla soft serve ice cream, orange sorbet, and Madagascar vanilla.

The result is a medium-full bodied IPA that drinks like a melting cone of vanilla-orange sorbet “swirl” soft serve ice cream cone melting on a hot summer day.

We get notes of bright, citrusy orange sorbet, rich, creamy vanilla soft serve ice cream, sweet clementine, vanilla bean, and fruity hops.

Picked this up recently along with the other Milkshake IPA that was part of the same release. Love Source's beers and I expected this to be a lot of fun. Thankfully, it was as sounded just like it was described and once again, was a brew that didn't stay in my glass for very long!

No surprise that something of this sort had a hazy, clementine hue to it with a moderate head that quickly faded as the bubbles burst. The foam wasn't bright and the lacing left behind was nearly nonexistent as a ton of little dots and some hazy sheen were all that the liquid left behind. Lots of sweet orange, orange blossom, tangerine, and cream in the nose as the taste smoothly followed suit. Once again, the wheat and oats gave this plenty of body while there were hints of dank hops and plenty of milk sugar to sweetly even things out. A bit of the vanilla emerged in the aftertaste as all that was missing was a cone to pair this with.

It was nearly impossible to detect the booze in this as this was deceptively easy to quaff, in lieu of a trip down the shore. Canned on 8/16 with "SUMMER CLASSIC" written below it, that was an apt description for this beer that easily deserves to be in Source's seasonal rotation!
