Orange and grass nose, not strong. Cloudy amber, chunks, thin head. Pencil shavings, orange, clay. Full body, easy carbonation. Tastes old and stale. Bottle is undated, but I only recently noticed this on the shelves.

On draught at Old Chicago.
Cloudy orange, an inch of foam.
Smells fruity, yeah citrus as in blood orange. Light pine as well.
Crisp flavour of blood orange, other citrus. Kinda 1 dimensional and mehish.
Refreshing at best.

Bottle. Blood orange, biscuit malt, and orange peel aroma. Cloudy golden yellow with large light tan head. Lightly sweet orange biscuit malt and moderately bitter orange peel flavor. Body a bit light. Okay - not very fruity.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, no bottle dating. Pours fairly hazy/cloudy golden orange/amber color color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice desne soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big blood orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper/pine, honey, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/fruity hops, blood orange, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big blood orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, honey, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine/citrus peel/grassy/spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of blood orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, honey, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/fruity hops, blood orange, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance. Slight lingering hop/fruit astringency through the glass, but not overwhelming. Light-moderate dryness from bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.4%. Overall this is a very nice fruited American pale ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/fruity hops, blood orange, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth, easy, and quite refreshing to drink; even with the increasing bitter/drying finish. Great vibrant/juicy fruit and hop flavors; with a nice balancing malt backbone. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Enjoyed on tap at O’Neill Public House in Portland, OR while I was out there shooting a music video. No notes, just taking the rating from Untappd. Don’t let this review convince you to try or not try this beer.

Kroger bottle. Pours murky yellowish-orange. Aroma of citrus and paper. Flavor is mild, quite tame citrus. Very bland. Not much flavor here at all.

Tap at Grizzlys. Orange color. Moderate hosp, lots of citrus flavor. Light bitterness. Lots of fruit, very drinkable. Better than average pale ale.
