Liquid Gravity Brewing - Orange Cream Machine

We stopped by Liquid Gravity Brewing in Sn Luis Obispo CA and in addition to their many fantastic Hazy IPAs my wife fell in love with their Orange Cream Machine - Hazy Orange Creamsicle DIPA.

This is what I know:
8.0% ABV
48 IBU
And the beer tender tells me there is no lactose.
Sorry I know that’s not a lot.

I am thinking of taking the Clawhammer Candy Orange Hazy IPA and adjusting it to make it an 8% DIPA and finishing it with a vanilla bean or two in secondary. I thought it had lactose AND vanilla but was told none of their beers have lactose.  Happy to hear any other theories as well as thoughts about hop selection.

2 Row Pilsner - 6lbs
Flaked Oats - 1lbs
Flaked Corn - 1lb
Flaked Wheat (1.6 SRM) - 1lb

Cheers!

I’m thinking Bravo could work here.

Amarillo is another hop that brings a lot of orange.

Wow. 8% ABV when I’m havin just 1!
