Orange Creamsicle Fruity Bits

Fruity Bits – Creamsicle is the newest release in our rotating Fruity Bits series, a spin off of Juicy Bits, our popular New England-style IPA. For FBOC, we brewed with Amarillo and Mandarina Bavaria hops exclusively, selected for their citrus quality. Then we added an absurd amount of mandarin orange puree to complement the flavor of the hops. Finally, we added just a touch of vanilla beans to contribute a unique sweet creaminess that combined with the soft, pillowy mouthfeel of the base beer and the citrus character from the hops and mandarin orange, produces a beer surprisingly reminiscent of an orange creamsicle popsicle.
