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 to pint glass. Clear coooer-orange with moderate pristine white head. Orange pith aroma and taste. The orange is slightly overwhelming and a little artificial.

12 Oz bottle on 3rd Feb 2017 in my daughters new place in Laguna Niguel, California. Liked the look, smell and taste of this orange flavoured Pale Ale. Easy to drink, a little sweet for some maybe, but just right for me.

Draft at BWW Boise. Orange golden body with medium fluffy head. Faint aroma of orange zest. Taste initially has a burst of orange, which fades fast. Dries out considerably at the end. Nice summer, so so all other times.

Clementine nose. Clear amber, thick head, good lace. Husks, malt, lemongrass, orange. Medium body, easy carbonation. A little grainier than I like for this style.
