Production & Heritage

More Brewing Company operates out of Villa Park, a western suburb of Chicago, and has built a devoted following in the Illinois craft scene for beers that push past convention. Orange Double Marbles exemplifies that approach: rather than relying solely on hop selection for citrus notes, the brewery incorporates actual orange to achieve an authentic, multilayered fruit presence. The result is a double IPA that bridges the gap between hop-driven bitterness and genuine fruit-forward intensity, supported by additions of vanilla and milk sugar that lend a creamsicle-like dimension.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh orange zest and ripe tangerine dominate the nose immediately. Resinous pine follows close behind, with a subtle undercurrent of tropical mango and a faint bready sweetness rounding things out.

Taste: The entry is juicy and bright with bold fresh orange, quickly met by assertive hop bitterness and a supportive malt backbone. Mid-palate, velvety vanilla and silky milk sugar emerge, evoking a creamsicle quality — pillowy and ice-creamy without tipping into cloying sweetness. The overall impression is citrus-forward and resinous, with tangy mango notes flowing through.

Finish: Dry, clean, and moderately bitter, with lingering orange peel and soft hop resin. The 8% ABV is remarkably well-hidden beneath the fruit and cream layers.

How to Drink Orange Double Marbles

Pour into a tulip glass or standard pint at around 40–45°F to let the orange aromatics fully open up; drinking straight from the can will mute much of the layered nose. The beer's bold citrus and creamsicle character also make it an unexpectedly versatile ingredient in beer cocktails. A Beermosa — substituting this DIPA for a standard wheat beer alongside fresh orange juice — amplifies the citrus theme naturally. A Shandy built with house-made lemonade balances the hop bitterness with tart sweetness. For something more adventurous, a Michelada riff using Orange Double Marbles adds a fruity, bitter backbone to the savory-spicy mix.

Why Orange Double Marbles?

What separates Orange Double Marbles from the crowded field of citrus-themed IPAs is its commitment to real orange rather than hop-derived mimicry alone. That decision creates a more authentic, layered fruit presence that reviewers consistently praise for its creamsicle-like quality — a character further reinforced by vanilla and milk sugar additions. At 8% ABV, the beer carries serious weight yet drinks deceptively smooth, hiding its strength beneath waves of bright citrus and a clean, dry finish. For fans of bold, fruit-forward double IPAs brewed with genuine craft ambition, this is one of the more compelling options coming out of the Illinois scene.
