A Note on This Beer

As a kid, I loved sneaking orange creamsicles out of the freezer on hot summer days. Now that I’m an adult, I’d much rather cool down with an ice-cold craft beer. And, I don’t have to sneak around anymore!

Today’s New England IPA strikes a delightful balance — it tastes just like that deliciously melty citrus dessert, but with a 6.5% ABV!

The family-owned brewery, Austin Brothers Beer Co., packed this brew with loads of fresh tangerines and heaps of Madagascar vanilla beans to coax out a mouthwatering swirl of tangy citrus and sweet smoothness.

It’s a wonder the brewers didn’t add any lactose, because this treat tantalizes the taste buds like a creamy sorbet on a boiling afternoon!

Summer lovin’ craft fans are diggin’ the bold flavor balance:

“Holy cow, the vanilla is dominant in this one. So good, should have gotten more.” @Chris I.
“Literally a tangerine smoothie, highly recommend.” @Walter N.
“Perfect body, creamy and tasty. One of the best smoothie IPAs I’ve had.” @Brian M.

So, if you’re hankering to get every last drop out of summer, we’ve got you covered with this juicy, thirst-quenching IPA!

Not gonna lie this reminds me of tomato and black pepper. Not sweet or creamy at all. Slight vanilla after taste.

Not an orange creamsicle as the description says. Only a slight aftertaste of tangerine flavor and I don’t get much vanilla either. It’s a decent beer though

Great Tangie IPA. Super smooth with a hint of spice on the back end.

A admirable try at doing something different. Not too sure it hit the Mark.

I didn't get much tangerine or smoothie. Just hoppy like a regular IPA.

Kind of felt like a hazy IPA, it was juicy no doubt, but definitely not fruity enough for me to consider it a “smoothie”. Wish it was creamier and fruitier

Not a smoothie but smooth IPA. The vanilla is a little overwhelming for IPA.

I liked this one, it was a nice ipa that wasn't over powered with the hops flavor. This was a nice craft.

Didn’t think it was very tangerine-y or smoothie-ie. Pretty bitter, low-bar IPA. One of the weaker purchases I’ve got from Tavour.

Was very excited for this but did not enjoy, had a very strange after taste

I would give this beer a 4 or more if it was more advertised as an IPA only rather than a "smoothie creamy" type dessert. Not at all on the sweet side but very much with the hops. Nice orange flavor with the slightest vanilla aftertaste.

Sour tangerine aftertaste. Light bodied with a strong citrus flavor. Not too much of a vanilla flavor. Wouldn't get it again.

I think this was an example of a good beer not tasting anything like it was advertised. I was in the mood for a fruity, smoothie beer tonight and this was a decent hazy ipa, but i just didn't get the tangerine or the vanilla. Maybe the second one will be better knowing what to expect

Too much citrus bitterness Vanilla not present

Was hoping for a thicker beer with more fresh fruit flavor. The tangerine flavor tastes very artificial. I'm still going to enjoy drinking this beer but I'll pass on it in the future.

The “creamsicle” effect is very slight – this is more of a sour IPA with hints of sweetness provided mostly from the aroma (not the flavor) of vanilla. It’s okay, but only just okay.

Sour and bitter but in a bad way. Tasted like a slightly tainted homebrew.

Spicy, tangerine at the back, and I smell the vanilla while I'm drinking it. Nice and hazy, too. I'd get it again.

Extremely disappointed. Was hoping for a tangerine rush of flavor and just got a plain mute beer that was pretty much undrinkable for me.

This was a huge disappointment. It was lacking in the smoothie factor. At first sip I recoiled at the tangerine flavor, it didn’t taste like tangerine. It then progressively got worse leaving a bad aftertaste. This would’ve been a drain pour but I handed it to my friend, he ended up pouring it out after the first sip. Pouring out is not a thing we would normally do but this was an exception to the rule. A 3rd friend was gifted my 2 other cans. He and the other also drain poured.

Pretty weird beer. Austin Bros IPAs have been pretty disgusting so far. No resemblance to a smoothie in the slightest. Tastes like a stale macro brewery IPA with bitter tangerine rinds ground up in it.

Mediocre beer not the best not the worst didn’t taste like it’s description

Tangerine and bitter. That’s it. I think vanilla brings out the bitter in beer.
