Wild Leap Brew Co. in LaGrange, Georgia has announced the brewery's first new beer of 2019.

Truck Chaser Creamsicle Double IPA is, as its name would suggest, a lush and fruity Double IPA that is meant to evince memories of novelty ice cream, the creamsicle.

“We took an indulgence of our past and brewed the flavors into a hoppy, hazy Double IPA," said Wild Leap co-founder Anthony Rodriguez. "It wasn’t that long ago that my friends and I chased the ice cream truck, not the beer truck.”

Brewed with ripe orange, vanilla bean and milk sugar, Truck Chaser is available now. The full release from the brewery is below.

Wild Leap is kicking off 2019 in a delicious way by releasing a new Double IPA series called Truck Chaser. Creamsicle Double IPA is the first beer in the series, hitting the shelves the second week of January. Truck Chaser Creamsicle will be the first Wild Leap beer to be sold in four packs instead of six packs and it will only be available in the market for a short time.

Brewed with a flavor combination of ripe orange, vanilla bean and milk sugar, Creamsicle Double IPA is designed to taste like a creamsicle straight from the ice cream truck. “We’ve had a lot of fun with this beer,” says Wild Leap co-founder Anthony Rodriguez. “We took an indulgence of our past and brewed the flavors into a hoppy, hazy Double IPA. It wasn’t that long ago that my friends and I chased the ice cream truck, not the beer truck.”
