An American Blonde Ale. Malty and sweet with a fruity character, finishes dry with huge blood orange citrus character in the body and aroma. A slight bitterness balances out the malt. Infused with blood oranges and hopped with Warrior & Amarillo hops for a refreshing, fruit flavored sensation!

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: slight chill haze yellow color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: semi-sweet oranges mesh with some light lemony to soft piney hop bitter to sweet hop tones; super light clean malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-bitter to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes with some sweet oranges and slight lemony to piney hop bitterness
Texture: light to medium bodied; good sessionability; some smoothness with a good carb level and about medium hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nice flavorful and aromatic blonde ale I'd be willing to come back to.
