A Note on This Beer

It was a sweltering afternoon in midsummer. My friends and I sat lethargically on my front porch, spraying each other intermittently with squirt guns to keep cool.

Then we heard it. The heavenly chimes of the ice cream man. We couldn’t get to that truck full of sweet relief fast enough.

With every satisfying sip of today’s Imperial Milkshake IPA, that childhood memory comes flooding back to me. 

Mountains Walking crafted Opaque Thoughts - Orange Creamsicle with their buddies at Good Word Brewing & Public House in Georgia. They conditioned it on zesty oranges, sweet vanilla beans, and lactose, so it’s tart and thick, with a sweet n’ tangy finish.  

I feel like I’m slurping up a delectable orange creamsicle milkshake! Each cool, refreshing sip is like white water rafting through a river of oranges and vanilla, and feeling the spray of the waves against my skin.

Now that I’ve got a few cans of this creamsicle dream in my fridge, I can hardly wait for the next scorching hot day! This time, I’m prepared.

My question is, are you?

Mountains Walking won Gold at the North American Beer Awards!

The initial taste is like mandarin oranges very light and kind of tangy on the first sip, but the after taste is like something out of hell. The after taste is awful and very citrus like with no creamsicle flavor

I enjoyed it. Yes, a little sour and not really creamsicle but hey, orange juice beer? Yum!

I absolutely love Mountains Walking and have been particularly enjoying the Opaque Thoughts series as I have been exploring milkshake IPAs. Mountains Walking really do something magical with the beers they craft. All that being said, this Orange Creamsicle was not my favorite. I feel like it was just a little bit too “tangy” for lack of a better term. I feel this beer embodies the same complexity that the Opaque Thoughts series is known for. It is just this one little thing about this one I don’t love. Nonetheless, I still anxiously await the next Opaque Thoughts version offered on Tavour until I can make it back to Bozeman again.

Good Word Brewing & Public House. Hazy murk, aromas of citrusy tropical fruits, Vanilla, and rind, thick, juicy, big Orangey & Grapefruit, pithy astringency, Milk Sugar sweetness, and complimentary Vanilla.

I like flecks. I’m talking the flecks in foods and drinks that contain vanilla and show the true vanilla bean. Flecks are visible here, as is the obvious syrupy milky nectar of orange. It’s a true creamsicle with biting hops too. Maybe just a touch too much of a good thing in the sweetness and vanilla punch, but also very much as advertised in a milkshakecreamsicle IPA.

VERY sharp orange flavor. I would have like more vanilla flavor to make it more like a creamsicle. nice thick mouthfeel.

Aggressively orange, almost a pith-like chewy bitterness, sweet and creamy vanilla kicks in toward the end, but the tart bitters are hard to get around.

Tastes like pure OJ straight out of the can. Was hoping it would open up a little more and bring out some vanilla but it just got hoppier.

Mountains Walking is typically spot on, but this one missed the mark. Tastes like OJ up front, but finishes with a bitter citrus flavor. Not horrible, but definitely not what I'm used to from mountains Walking

Just did not nail the orange cream to match its piers. Almost like Sunkist mixed w a beer, there was almost no proper cream slide down the throat. Opaque has made some of my favorites but this is not one of them
