Come one come all! A tribute to the language barrier from international collaboration & inspired by our affinity for a Danish runner’s scarf & shorts. This Bloody Show is a crisp, tart pilsner drenched with the juice & zest of blood oranges. The result is a refreshingly tart lager with big citrus aroma worthy of even the hippest of Danish drinkers.

Clear orange beer, aery yellowish creamy head. Aroma: very fruity, caramel malts, some oranges. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very bitter, grains, metallic, malty, not so fruity as the smell would suggest, hoppy, bit medicinal even. Aftertaste: bitter orange peel, fruity, grassy, bit medicinal, hoppy, decent stuff!

Pint can from Wine Warehouse. Golden with a golden head. Smells of orange, lemon, light sewage. Flavor is bitter orange, grass, cracker, greens. Finishes bitter, almost like I had a dandelion salad.

On the can it says pills me with fruit but I smell mainly hops with a little note. Flavor is like nose and again it’s not so much like with the can describes it seems to me more of a pale ale with a hint of fruit. Great body for an APA and very good drinking.

471ml can. Orange, col blanc-cassé. Arôme au nez marqué de lager allemand, grains, orange sanguine reste assez discret, note de pils avec une pointe d’agrumes. Palais est léger, belle dominance des grains, pils, pâle, l’effet orange sanguine surtout son côté aigrelet est discret et juste une petite pointe d’acidité perce en fin de bouche. Amertume plutôt noble arrive et confère l’usage d’houblons allemands?

Pounder: Orange and grapefruit nose. Hazy orange, thin head, good lace. Dandelion, orange, grapefruit, lemongrass, tea, malt. Medium body, easy carbonation. Suprising amount of complexity, dynamic transitions, and good balance. I hate the name, but the liquid is really wonderful.

16 oz can poured. A slightly hazy golden orange pour with a thin fizz head. A citrus, orange, nice hop aroma. Juicy orange slice over a mild straw background. Very refreshing. Low bitter hops linger. I don’t know why I never considered fruit beer to fall universal to lagers and ales. Solid India session fruit lager here.

Can from Old Town. Pours a light copper with a finger of head that lingers. Big pungent blood orange nose with some orange, lime and a touch of catpiss. As it warms a bit of dank comes out on the nose and palate. Crisp and clean. Fruit is quite well-integrated on this one. Zesty bitter finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Mikkeller Bloody Show on 26 Oct 2016 at 23:46 - Score: 7. Original review text: Pungent orange and some catpiss on the nose. Crisp and clean with a bit of dank on the palate. Citrus and bitter finish.

Draft: Pours clear, dark amber with a small white head. Blood orange scent. Malty, orange pulp taste.....nice, deep orange-peel bitter. Almost salty-feeling at finish. Very good.
