Papago Orange Blossom Special

Brewed by Oak Creek Brewing Co.
Style: Fruit Beer
Sedona, Arizona USA

On tap at brew pub. Pours clear gold with a white head. The nose is vanilla and orange jolly rancher. The taste is vanilla and tang. Tastes a lot like an Orange Julius. Medium bodied. Not very good, but different.

Had this on tap and sincerely thought about spitting it back into the glass!!! I can see that others have noted it’s similarity both in aroma and flavor to a creamsicle (vanilla and orange)...only if a bully met you at the ice cream truck, pushed you on the ground, and pissed on your popsicle. Thin, no head, and overly sweet...BLAH!!!

big vanilla and orange nose quite reminiscent of a creamcycle. golden beer, whispy thin head. creamy orange flavors on the sweet side. novelty for sure with barely a note of actual beer coming through. it tastes good i suppose, but way too novelty to take seriously.

Draft from Papago. I usually don’t like fruity, sweet beers, but this was nice. Complex for a wheat. Like a creamsixle in a glass.

<b>On tap @ Papago</b> - Pours a clear light golden color with a small white head. Light lacing. Aroma is oranges. What else? Flavor is cream oranges with a hint of vanilla. A smooth, light to medium body beer. This beer was a pleasant suprise. A must try when in the Valley of the Sun.

On tap at Papago. Pours a golden wheat color with a fluffy head. Nice creamsicle aroma, with a touch of grain and zest. Flavor is the same. Seriously easy drinking and delicious!

All of the creamsicle descriptions are perfectly accurate. This beer has an interesting flavor and is certainly aromatic, yet the recipe seems to have changed and resulted in a diet version of how I remember it. Way too high in water content and fairly one-note. Good on a hot day, but starting to approach novelty status.

Their best seller...not real big but for a tasty session beer this hits the spot...a touch of orange, zesty, nice carbonation, wheat, slight banana, vanilla, creamy, cream soda...tasty.
