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. Pours risch yellow with foamy off-white head, artificial feeling sweet citrusy aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter taste with light orange flavor, thin body, medium finish. The taste and aroma felt a bit artificial to me.

From a 355ml bottle on 3/4/2017. Pours a clear medium golden with a medium white head. The aroma is mild, zesty and citrussy. In the mouth, it’s pretty straight forward - light biscuity malt, some fruity sweetness and a distinct quite strong citrus bitterness -as much lemon as orange. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A refreshing, quite enjoyable pale ale.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from One Stop Market. Appearance is slightly hazy gold with tons of sparkle, less-than-finger-width off-white foamy white head with nice retention and decent sudsy lacing. Aroma is bready malts, mild yeast and fruit. Taste is orange (like an orange lifesaver) over malt backbone. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with slick texture, fizzy carbonation (the dominant feature of the palate--almost like a mimosa) and mostly malty finish. Overall, the aroma and taste are pretty restrained. Nice look, overly carbonated.

Pours a clear, golden-copper, with mid-sized head. Aroma has lots of citrus and orange, But the flavor is primarily grassy, with little in the way of hops or citrus flavors. I certainly don’t taste any orange. Pretty forgettable.

Bottle: Clear, deep gold with a tall, thick, off-white head. Aroma of pure, fresh orange and peel. Grain malt, orange flavours... Very mild orange-peel bitter. I really liked this one.....it’s light, sessionable........a nice and pleasant little pale ale.

Bottle. Amber, an inch of white head that lasts and laces well. Aroma of grapefruit, oranges, bread. You’d know it had actual orange in it but it’s far from crude. Sweet with peel rather than zest. Mixes well with the beer flavours but doesn’t really complement them. Finish is a little dulled too. OK but a bit a let down after the aroma.

From a 12 oz. bottle it is a clear dark golden color with an off white head. The aroma is citrus and the taste is somewhat bitter with hints of citrus particularly orange and ihas an aftertaste that is different and has a bitter finish
