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 at home only tick in the market to be had. Pours clear orange decent had. Nose is faint citrus really not over powering. Tastes of orange peel, light rock candy, pine nuts, fruit punch. Watery palate without much bitterness.

355ml bottle into pint glass. Nose is caramel and fruit, not particularly strong. Golden amber beer, solid white head, high fine carbonation. Taste is bitter, earthy, pine notes. Full-bodied. Finish is increasingly bitter with a definite orange zest. Nice, very easy drinking.

Bottle: Pours a golden orange color with a modest white head. Aroma is fruity, citrus of course... zesty. Tastes a little bitter, more of a floral bitter than citrus. Orange peel is noticeable in the taste. Easy drinking, but not memorable.

Bottle. A- Orange peel, subtle hops. A- Orange color, clear liquid, off white head. T- Medium bitterness, orange pith, subtle orange, slightly floral. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- For some reason I pictured this would taste like a Sidecar cocktail. It did not. Basically another run of the mill orange heavy pale ale. Nothing new, nothing exciting.

Breakfast beer before catching a flight home, a decent zesty pale ale with some hop bitterness

16 oz can poured, purchased for less than $2. I’ll take it! Stocked at the market along with the alcoholic juices. Enjoyed that for some reason. Clean, darker orange pour with a ton of head. This beer is advertised correctly. A ton of orange impression. As you can always tell when someone in the room is peeling an orange, the same goes for opening this beer can. Juicy orange, but quite bittered. So orange peel it is, I suppose. A pleasant pale here. Good one to take in the game with.

Bottle. Orange juice, caramel malt, and light orange peel aroma. Golden yellow with moderate head. Mildly sweet orange, caramel malt, and moderately bitter spruce and grapefruit peel flavor - very nice. Good body. Excellent.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of oranges, straw, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of oranges, hops, straw, spices, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.
