Draft at the Happy Viking. Hazy golden, orange tones, scant head. Aroma is light citrus and bready malts. Taste brings in the bitterness of the blood orange and light caramel malts. Mild sweetness with a fruity bitter tang.

Shaker pint draft at Track 7 (Curtis Park) in Sacramento, California. The pour is a mostly clear orange golden with a small foam white head. The aroma is fresh blood orange citrus, floral hop and cracker malt. The taste is the blood orange fruit sweet, clean cracker malt and a bitter peel element. The palate is light to medium bodied with soft carbonation and a clean bitter orange fruit and mineral finish.

Bottle at MC Zurich. Pours hazy amber with a medium head. Aroma is blood orange, mango, litchi. Body is medium, quite fruity, typical blood orange bitterness, lively carbonation, quite sweet. A bit unbalanced. Not bad, but not convincing either.

On draft at Tap 25. It pours a clear golden color with a creamy white head. The aroma is kind of faint with bready malt and hints of orange. Not as potently aromatic as I was expecting. A little citric acid. The flavor is the same. More orange and spice. Bready malt backbone. Soft mouthfeel. Low to moderate bitterness for the style. Well done, if a bit underwhelming.

Bomber courtesy of and shared with Tderoeck/Erwin. Bottled 01.11.2016. Dorée, sur léger blanc. Arôme au nez centré sur l’orange sanguine, rappelant un peu le côté Terrapin usant du même agrume. Retro fin malté, finement houblonné. Palais est malté, pale avec ce côté roange sanguine qui confère une touché d’acidité qui est vite contrée par l’amertume des houblons et la base malt.

Thank you tderoeck & Erwin! Bomber sampled @ “Wish you were Adam Chandler” tasting. Bottled 11th of January 2016. Hazy orange with little head. Nose is milky orange peel, oily hops, milky pine hops. Taste is milky base with orange peel, some blood orange I suppose with white sugar, milky bread base, pine zest, orange peel, bitterness really starts building in the finish, bitterness gets really strong, a bit too much for me. A bit too milky, a bit too straight-up harshly bitters, wished for a bit more just fruit character. This is decent as well even if not entirely what I hopped for.
