The brewery: Black Flag Brewing Company, Columbia, Maryland
Description (from Untappd): "This 8% ABV Hazy Double IPA features a heavy hitting blend of Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops throughout the whirlpool and dry hopping, along with a large drop-in of Tahitian Vanilla Beans. Imagine the vibrant pithy citrus notes of these popular hops blended with the mellow, full-bodied sweetness of pure vanilla bean; a genuine hopped orange dreamsicle!"
Would I buy it again? The beer itself is perfectly fine. Very juicy, with a citrusy flavor, it's easy and pleasant to drink, and I like it. But there's an issue: I taste literally no vanilla. And with a name like "Vanilla Double Wizard," I was really expecting at least a little vanilla. I wanted to experience a vanilla-flavored IPA, but I got something much more average. So I'd probably pass on it in the future. Good, but not what I was looking for.
