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.

Shaker pint draft at Gram & Dun in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is a slightly hazed orange golden with an off white head that falls quick, though leaves nice lacing on the glass. The aroma is orange peel, orange fruit, general citrus and not much else. The taste is dominated by the fresh orange flavors - from citrus to fruit to skin, along with nice clean cracker malt. The palate is medium to light bodied, active carbonation and sweet orange dry finish. Nice showcase of the orange flavor.

Bottle @ Hanly’s, Strokestown [160617]
Golden blonde, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of soft orange juice, orange zest, soft citrus hop under the obviously added orange zest
Taste of soft orange, light citrus zest, not that hoppy, light sweet pale malt
Palate - Soft carb, medium light body, soft bitter. Finish as main flavour with a dab of cereal
Overall - Orange zest added to a not that hoppy pale ale almost into lager territory. Refereshing for the summer. It’s OK.

Tap @ Taphouse, Copenhagen. Unclear golden orange body with a small white head. Aroma has malt, citric fruit and oranges. Flavor is sweet malt, oranges, orange zest, citric fruit and balanced, fruity bitterness. Balanced body and nice aftertaste of sweet, fruity oranges. Decent and quite tasty.
