Can from Beer52 as part of their Pennsylvania box. New brewery for me and a fairly random looking beer to impress a new audience. Gold with a light haze, decent white head. Sweet orange soda aroma, part fresh-pithy, part-concentrate, light malts also. Taste of sweet blood orange but in a rather syrupy way. Tangy, some bitter pithiness. Hops non-existent. A bit artificial. This reminds me of flavoured pale ales brewed for Aldi for Β£1. Perfectly drinkable but a bit naff.

Cheap can, pours mostly clear pale, many here say there is an orange tint, but there is not in my can; what up with that? Hah, I thought the label said pittsburgh, no its from pittston. Oh well, I think pittston is where the original stoney beer came from? Oh, now I see its smithton, sorry. Well, this beer starts off with a nice orange aroma, yes, it has a natural orange nose, you hoser. Just like the smell you get when you peel a fresh bell orange from the big FLA! The taste is really a big up front orange, bordering on artificial bit its not. Has a really good sensation on the co2 department, lots of good bubbly carbonation fer sher. This has got to be one of the better range brews I've taste, yea baby. This is right up there with some of the better meads I taste that were orange in flavor. Also, rite in line with march first orange cream and leinenkugels orange shandy. Good job there sussy!

Orange hazy pour with a small, but dissapearing white head. Aromas of malt/grain and various shades of organge (peel, juice, marmelade). Taste is dominated by blood orange with a faint hint of malt/grain. Anice summer drink, but the orange notes are too dominant.

Spotty beige head on an unclear deep golden coloured body. Malt, butterscotch & tobacco aroma. Medium bodied, smooth, lifeless & sticky. Overly sweet fruit juice, saccharin & orange tastes. Tastes like undiluted Orange cordial. Awful.

[12oz can from Beer52.] A hazy amber pour with a thick white head; blood orange aroma; crisp malty body with a weak orange squah flavour; and nothing in the way of a finish.

Pours clear amber with a fizzy white head, thin. Aroma of intense candied orange. Taste has artificial orange notes, similar to orange soda, mild malt lingering. Palate has much of the same. Eh.
