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.

opalescent golden colour, large, dense off-white head; aroma of grapefruit, orange and some boiled vegetables; taste has bready-malty, orange and tangerine notes; refreshing APA, though definitely not a perfect one; why is it unique? because it is the first American (or practically other than Hungarian) craft beer sold by a supermarket (Auchan) in Hungary!

Bottle as pictured. Perhaps a little orange in the pale brew and there is also precipitants in there floating around. Bright hop aroma. Taste is quite hoppy and yes there are shades of orange peel in there. I was hoping for orange, not orange peel. The result is the orange peel just adds more bitterness to the already hopped bitterness. Comes across like a milder IPA, but fer sher IPA. Very rude bitter finish like I'm chewing on green orange peels. Not impressed. Bitterness becomes quite dificult in the end.

Bottle. Clear orange/golden with a decent white head. Aroma of lemons and oranges. Taste is fruity and zesty with a nice malty background. Not that much hoppy bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. It's balanced alright and super refreshing on a hot day but I feel there's something missing though I can't put my finger on it. But I definitely prefer the classic Pale Ale without any additives

Közepes, tartós hab, félbarnába hajló borostyán szín. Enyhe, citrusos, narancsos illat. Citrusos, narancsos ízek, enyhe narancshéjas beütéssel. Könnyű, közepesen szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Korrekt, de szegényes ízvilág.

0.355l bottle thanks to Lore. Slightly hazy dark golden body with a huge white head. Aroma of hay, grapefruit and orange juice. The description says they used orange peel, but the aroma is more like a dash of orange juice was added to it. The taste is more similar to a classic APA. Bready malty base with grapefruit, berries, orange zest and tangerine. I like that the orange only gives a twist to it and not overpowers the base beer like in some other fruit infused APAs and IPAs. Nice one.

bottle, rated in May 2017 - Pours deep gold. Aroma is oranges and some light malt under there. Flavor is lightly bitter with caramel malt sweetness. It's an easy going pale ale with some good orange flavors. Okay.
