We took some fresh Sanguinello Blood oranges, juiced 'em, concentrated that juice (without heat) and threw it into a wheatier version of our New Dogtown Pale Ale. The end result? A refreshingly hopped pale-ish ale with a huge citrus burst!

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Fairly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a nice two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of citrus (duh), tangerines, light grain and malts with a dose of cleanser and pine on the finish with a touch of grass and funkier malt noticeable at the very end. Medium-bodied; Quite assertive citrus and especially a pure orange flavour with a lot of tangerine and even some blood orange/quite bitter notes that show some light sweetness from the fruit, but more of a bitterness and deep quality that hit throughout. Aftertaste shows a relatively good balance of malt and hops with a decidely deep bitterness with the citrus at first, but more of a robust dry and piney flavour that hits at the very end. Overall, a fairly nice and structured APA with the citrus flavours coming out, but enough of a slow burn and moderate complexity to make this beer hit more like a normal APA or a blonde ale even. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Shopper's in Alexandria, Virginia on 21-June-2018 for US$1,67 sampled at home in Washington on 02-August-2018.

Pours a hazy light yellow-gold color with a white head and great retention. Good lacing. Strong bitter hops aroma. As expected, strong hops flavor too with a faint citrus finish bordering on sour/tart. Hop heads will love it; Not me. 7.5 ABV is well hidden. This is an APA, not a fruit beer. Barely any blood orange flavor.

Bottle. Cloudy golden yellow with foamy whitish head, faint citrus aroma, low carbonation, bitter orange peel taste, smooth body, long bitter finish. Nice, a bit on the bitter side

Surprised it is a fruit beer. But it odes have juicy hops, some citrus. Moderate hops. Good and refreshing.

Flaska från SB. Gyllengul, med ganska mycket fint sediment och medelhögt vitt skum. Mycket juicig citrus, lätt anslag för sin abv och stor drickbarhet. Lite zestigt citronskal med citrusoljigkaraktär och lätt beska i eftersmaken. Gott
