Smell-medium strong, red-orange, fruits, orange, hops, citrus. Feels like red-orange juice. Foam- hops, fruits, red-orange notes for sure, citrus, bitter tones. Head is small, white with a yellow tint. Appearance- somewhat simple can. Clear orange-brown color, medium carbonation. From - snifter Taste - hops, red-orange, citrus, bitter ones, juice. Fine IPA, even if hops are above my usual tolerance I still enjoy them here. Guess that blood-orange notes have a special sweet spot for me. Perfectly neutral for me, but nothing over the top.

Can best by December 9th 2019.

It pours a not quite clear gold with a good head of foam that shrinks to a fine layer after a few minutes. As I tilt my glass from side to side, there is some lacing.

I take a few whiffs and thank goodness, I can smell blood oranges! The boldest nose of the fruit that I have ever encountered, I reckon. Citrus bitterness lies beneath.

The hop bitterness kind of swallows up the blood oranges in the initial sips and had me worried because I thought that the smell was primo. The fruit does show up but mostly in the finish, darn it. So promising. There now, the blood oranges seem to be gaining momentum now that I am aboot half way through. Whatever malt presence I get seems to be toasted.

The mouthfeel is fine and there's a long lingering flavour of the oranges that lasts to the bitter end.

Looking for a blood orange IPA? Give this one a shot.

Hazy light amber. Not much head. Citrusy hops and a bright orange note. Really orangey...artificial. Lots of bitterness but it’s not cohesive with that syrupy.

12oz bottle. I really hope that in a year we will never see Blood Orange or Mango IPAs. Kind of cool albeit artificial and extractish aroma. The taste isn’t bad, just a cheesy, gimmicky substitute for hops. On the sweet side, pretty well balanced overall. Overboard "natural" aroma and flavor dominate.
