Orange Dream is back for the 2018 sipping season with a recipe that's dreamier than ever! Nick, Robbie and the rest of the crew spent some time dialing-in the citrus notes on our flashback-inspired cream ale and landed on something even the ice cream man would be stoked on. Look for a more potent punch of citrus up front with a nice, smooth vanilla finish that's made even more creamy from the addition of lactose. Chase it down in standalone packages or alongside Free Flow and Ella in our Can Jam Variety Pack. THE STORY If you've been playing along, you've likely seen our cream ale with orange peel and vanilla at a few festivals. In 2016, this recipe was created by head brewer, Nick Smith, as part of an internal competition where members of the sales, supply chain, marketing and production teams joined forces to create four unique recipes, which would eventually pour at the Vermont Brewers Festival in Burlington. Four teams. Four sessions. Four beers. In the end, Orange Dream was the unanimous stash favorite. Often day-dreamed about here at OCB, we rolled into BeerAdvocate's Extreme Beer Fest with another take on this juicy cream ale interpretation where we transported winter festival go-ers back to summer days spent scrounging for couch cushion change while hoping to catch the ice cream truck before it rolls on by. THE BEER We're stoked to set this flashback-inspired cream ale into the universe. Grab hold of this warm-weather treat and enjoy the subtle citrus notes of orange peel that are sublimely accompanied by a delicously smooth vanilla presence, which won't wear out your sweet tooth. Don't be fooled by the melting pop on the can, The OCB Crew worked hard to create a cream ale with orange and vanilla, putting proper emphasis and attention on the cream ale style. This one is coming at you on draught, in 12-ounce cans (sixers + 12's) and 12-ounce bottles exclusively in our Mixed Bag variety pack. Flip the cushions, dig for change, pop the top, and enjoy a few before it melts away.
