Brewed December 2016, bottled September 2017. First aged in 2nd use Bulleit rye whiskey barrels, Dan (the beer is Mecca Grade pilsner & wheat with Challenger hops) was transferred to a 500 liter puncheon where 2 gallons of fresh squeezed orange juice was added. A wonderfully light and expressive beer. The orange juice is noticeable on the nose and palate if you are paying attention and adds a juicy layer of complexity that may be mistaken for yeast character, but it’s actually Florida.

(Bottle, 0.75 l, at Pien, a sample, 20190411) The beer poured golden and rather cloudy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, tartness and dried apricots. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, dried apricots, sweetness, tartness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, tart and bitter. A very well done tart and sour brew.

Big orange juice nose. Has a bit of acidity. Dull and fairly flat. I like it because it's super juicy. I'm not sold on a beer where most of its flavour was dumped in at the end.

On tap. Pours a murky orange amber with little head. Primary orange juice and grain. Disappointing for Ale Apothecary.

On cask at Farmhouse Fest 2018, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots earthy rye, with tart orange juice, with light citrus. Flavour is a bit flat, with tart orange juice, citrus and light funk. Fairly acidic with a flat citric finish. It's okay, but nothing special.
