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 35,5 cl. Pours a clear golden with a lacing, white head. Very subtle aroma, if I really try hard I may get a little tangerine. Medium body, a dry fruitiness, again some orange notes before a very bitter finish. Rough. 110817

Spritziger Geruch von Orangenschale. Deutlich herber Antrunk. Dabei deutliche Noten von Orangenschalen, feine Karbonisierung, steigende Bitterkeit. Dabei erstaunlich wenig hopfig, dennoch süffig, frisch. Die Bitterkeit überlagert zum Ende einige andere Aromen, dennoch bleibt die Fruchtigkeit angenehm. Nett! 10/9/10/8/10/9

(bottle, 35.5cl) Hazy, golden colour with a medium-sized and slightly off-white foamy head. Distinctively citrus, fruity aroma, most of all with notes of oranges, orange peel and grapefruit. Mildly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Dry malt character with traces of bread and caramel, backed by present fruity hops, including notes of oranges and grapefruit; dry and moderately bitter finish with pleasant fruitiness and a mildly sweet malty backbone. Well-made. 11.VII.17
