20 oz. pour at BWI. Pours a hazy, orange color, with a big, frothy, off-white head. The nose is blood orange, spruce, coriander, whole grain bread, and grapefruit peel. Sweet and grainy, with a bold, piney bitterness. Medium to heavy body, sticky, and hard. Aggressive and tasty enough.

12 oz can from Wegmans, 2/25/25. Murky yellowish-orange, sheeting white head. Bread, citrus, and light grass. Light stone fruit. Leans a little thin on the feel. Decent overall.

On tap at Central Jersey Beerfest in West Windsor, NJ. Slightly hazed yellow gold pour with a large foamy white head. Perfumy citrus aroma. Juicy orange and tangerine flavor upfront. Mild hop bitterness in finish hints at orange pith.

Can. Smell is certainly citrus perfume. The eye is a fully hazy brew, almost murky milkshake, nice creamy head that lasts. First taste is orange and citrus. The middle follows up with medium hop bitterness. Back of throat notes of green grapefruit rind bitter bites. Not really as hoppy as I was expecting but it still does the style justice. At least there is some co2 in there that attempt to make it somewhat acceptable. That orange juice feel in this rides out to the end. Interesting take on an otherwise ubiquitous style.

Lots of orange here. Some lemon, hops tang. Murky yellow pour with ok head. Light tangy end. Not great. Can.

3 month old can A: Hazy deep orange amber with a thick lasting yellowish foam pillow and thick lacing. S: Sharp, orange citrus notes with faint toasted bread. T: Very juicy orange citrus as in the nose but a bit too much of an OJ vibe, with a light pulpy aspect and subdued sweetness. M: Little to no hop burn but a bit of a sugary feel. Abundant soft carbonation. O: I was disappointed to learn from a can that this is made with actual orange. This info is not on the carton. Otherwise an OK brew but not a repeat buy.
