This beer has a pop of bright orange flavor that emphasizes the natural citrus-heavy character of Cascade, Equinox and Mandarina hops. Brewed with orange peel added directly to the kettle, and all the classic hop flavor you'd come to expect from our all-new take on the hop-forward fruit beer.

Bottle from Purity Market, Fort Bragg. Aroma is orange peel, citrussy orange, fruity hops, malt. Flavour is light sweet and medium bitter. Body is medium. Bit of a one-trick pony, but nice orange pale ale.

Bottle at 100 piv. Solid caramelly sweetish oxidized body, which is nor big surprise here. Moderate bitterness to balance it though, and pretty intense orange citrusy character, part hops, part real orange apparently. It is pretty up front. Moderate body, moderate carbonation, easy drinking. Good one.
