Welcome to Make That Brew! For our very first episode, we are going to make a beer that tastes like an Orange Creamsicle. We wanted to make a well balanced beer that had a good amount of citrus without overwhelming the malt flavors. In all, we think we did a great job with this and this will be a regular on our taps!
