A Note on This Beer

Ice Cream Indulgence: The scoopers, er… brewers, at Destination Unknown use hefty additions of juicy orange, velvety vanilla, and creamy lactose in today's creamsicle-like brew! Melty Mouthfeel: Each succulent sip is as silky smooth as soft serve, with just a small, lip-smacking bite of citrus rind on the finish.

I grew up with five (yes, five) siblings. You better believe anytime the fridge was stocked with a fresh stack of luscious orange ‘n’ cream popsicles, the entire batch went QUICK. 

So, when ten-year-old me discovered a crisp five-dollar bill on the sidewalk one afternoon, I went straight to the supermarket ice cream aisle! It took me less than 20 minutes to wolf down an entire box of creamsicles, and man oh man, brain freeze never felt so worth it. 

I still have a thing for creamsicles. Only, today’s hoard-worthy, drippy delight — Science of Selling Creamsicles Milkshake IPA — comes not from a chilly store freezer, but from the award-winning brewers at Destination Unknown.

These guys know how to craft an IPA that swirls with citrus-nectar. They won Silver in the IPA category at the 2019 New York State Craft Beer Competition!

I’ve still never told my siblings about my sneaky, frozen sugar treat feast all those years ago, and I probably won’t tell them about today’s Science of Selling Creamsicles. I’m hoarding at least a few cans of this limited delicacy all to myself. Though this time, I’ll try to savor it more slowly to avoid brain freeze!

Quite hoppy, nothing too special here as I didn't really pick up on the orange and only a bit of a fuller mouth feel from the lactose.

Very dense and sweet. Can taste the Orange for sure, but minimal vanilla. Creamy. If you’re looking for a sweet beer that will make you full, go for it.

Overly foamy, too sweet and tart. I didn't pick up on any cream or vanilla. Tastes like OJ + bud light.

This was not the creamsicle I was looking for- too bitter and not enough sweet. Good for those who prefer a sharper, hoppier brew.

Ordered from Tavour. Poured into a pint glass from a pint can. Look: hazy orange, THICK head, as we drank it, left a nice lacing on the glass. Smell: piney, no notable fruit or malt Taste: pine one the front end, sweet in the middle, a small amount of malt on the backend, sweet but does NOT taste like fruit, orange or creamsicle. Feel: somewhat thick, hands around but drops off quickly For a creamsicle I was expecting orange whip. The presence of lactose would suggest a nice mouthfeel but this was not the case. They said vanilla and I was excited to try orange and vanilla with some pine knowing it was a NEIPA, but was disappointed there was little to no orange (albeit some sweet fruit character in the middle) and NO vanilla, or maybe that was just us. We really wanted to like it, but nah. We have another pint can, I guess we will drink it when we get really thirsty.

Overcarbonated ! Bitter orange peel dominates with hints of vanilla. Not bad but not a creamsicle.

Not a bad IPA, but I’m not finding creamsicle. Bitterness on the finish doesn’t complement the other flavors. Just not much standing out on this one.

Too bitter for me and not really a creamsicle flavor in my opinion. It was more of a slightly bitter orange flavor with a little vanilla finish, the flavors felt separate from each other and didn’t blend together.

Flavors are pretty good, but the hops/IPA is pretty strong- not as smoothie as I was expecting. Drank half and felt a heeeellluva buzz

Disappointing. I was expecting something smoother with the lactose but all I got was “orange IPA.”
