12 ounce can from Total Wine Manassas, 8/2/16. Clear amber, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of orange juice. The taste is pale malt, orange juice, a bit of pith. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness, juicy.

Can: Tang nose, somewhat resembles orange flavored vitamins I had when I was a kid. Clear amber, medium head. Unusually savory and bready orange flavor, accented by rye and basil. Medium body, easy carbonation. More herbal than fruity.

Can. Clear light gold with a white head. The aroma is citrus, mostly orange. The flavor is that of a good bitter IPA with an orange finish. Nice.

Pour is a murky orange with a large white head. Aroma is almost all orange. They went heavy with the oranges and it probably covers up any thing the hops had to offer. Flavor is again pretty much all orange but not as strong as I thought it would be. Not much of the hops make it past the orange. This one did nothing for me. This is more fruit beer than IPA.

Can into a chalice. Filled 6/29 so exactly 2 weeks old. A: Rich gold with a hint of orange tint. A ton of coarse crud floating in suspension almost like OJ. Small, fading head and rings of lace. S: Light aroma. Sweet orange marmalade, white toast with hints of honey and citrus pith. T: Tart citrus hop bite. A green note. Malt mostly lost but a faint sweetness on the finish. The fresh orange taste is there but I don’t taste much beer. M: Light on body and carbonation. Bitter and watery with pulp. O: Not a fan of this. Orange and little to nothing else. Furthermore, the orange is a little overdone. I need to stop trying these stupid fruited beers.
