12oz bottle shared with my wife on 25th May 2016, straight after this breweries Raspberry Ale: preferred this, but only just. Dull orange in colour with a wisp and collar on top. Oranges rule the nose and flavour (no surprises there then) and it is quite refreshing in the afternoon Californian sunshine. On the sweet side, but just about drinkable when thirsty.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange color with a medium sized foamy orange-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was Tang. The flavor was Tangy. Medium length finish. Light body. Pretty awful.

12oz bottle pours an innocent clear copper with thin white head. The aroma pulses with Sunkist Orange soda notes along with a thin ring of powdered sugar. The taste punishes the wary with sugary Sunkist Orange soda like notes that are fully enhanced by the above average level of carbonation. I succumbed and poured most of it down the drain. This is likely a good beer for people who are convinced they hate beer due to its beer-y flavors.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with a frothy white head. The aroma is fruit and cereal. Thin mouthfeel with a sour orange and tart. Not much going on with this one.

Bottle from Swalden28. Pours golden with some white fizz a-top. Aroma of Sunny-D and seltzer water. Taste is water, seltzer, congealed orange peel and a bit of spice. Nothing else. Fizzy. The commercial description sounds very unsanitary to me as a homebrewer.

Bottle from Whole Foods in Sacramento, CA. Darkly golden color with a slight white head. Aroma is definitely orange. Rather thin body with coarse carbonation. Flavor is primarily orange oil. Any bitter is the same. Ok, if orange is what you want. Maybe one of the better of this sort of thing. At least it’s not obviously lagery.

Hazy, orangey colour. Smells like orange soda. Very orangey, fizzy. Not much body. Very soda-like.

Draft at Bakersifelds Brews in The Village; Nose of orange and citrus; orange copper color with a small white head; flavor was orange peel (not too sweet) with some citrus hops.
