Label Text Fresh Pops Orange Creamsicle:

“Reminiscent of the classic summertime delight, Orange Creamsicle is the first of the Fresh Pops Series. This fruited ale is packed with tangerine puree and aged on vanilla beans that makes a splash on drinkers’ tastebuds. With the addition of lactose, wheat and oat malt, the mouthfeel is creamy and balanced against the intense citrus flavor. This melty sherbet-inspired ale is the perfect treat for a warm day, or to remind you of one.”

“Introducing the newest flavor in our Fresh Pops Series! Strawberry Shortcake is just as delicious as it sounds. Packed full of fresh strawberry puree, we’ve balanced this brew with a sweet hint of lactose and vanilla, making the perfect summertime treat.”
