Our Belgian-style Extra Pale Ale is brewed with heaps of sweet Mandarin oranges from Blossom Bluff Farms and California two-row barley. We dry-hop with generous doses of aromatic Cascade and Columbus hops and finish the beer with a hint of lightly toasted American oak.

Bottle shared with Ian at the Bermondsey bottle shop. Clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light with fine carbonation. Light smooth malt, whispers of honey and caramel. Light marmalade hops with a modest spicy pine. Light dry finish. Not bad.

World Cup Tasting. Deep golden with a lasting white head. Citrus hoppy aroma with floral and grassy notes and a touch of bready malt. Sweet malty flavour with citrus hops and a very bitter, pleasant finish.

Bottle pour. Pours caramel color with a citrus orange, hoppy aroma. A lot of orange spice, and citrus flavor. Slightly bitter finish. A lot of flavor in this. Another solid brew from these guys.

Draught at Serious Biscuit, Seattle
Golden color. I appreciate the light and crisp character of the malts, it’s very dry, and then followed by strong bitterness, quite resiny, piney.
Very good.

Bottle at Charlie’s place in Encinitas. Pours perfectly clear, rich gold with a frothy white head. The aroma has toasty, dry malts, caramel, pine. Medium sweet flavor that is heavy on the dirty pine, also with dry caramel, grass, toast and orange rind. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Somewhat dank to finish with still more dirty pine, toasted malts and caramel, melon, orange and grapefruit rind. Pretty average.

Sample at the Willoughby PBCCP tasting on 11/17/2013: Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a medium foamy off-white head that diminishes gradually to a wispy film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Floral hops and malt in the nose. Light to medium body with flavors of herbal hops, toasted malt and citrus. The finish is fruity with a citrusy hops and yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.
