Tap pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Appearance is lightly hazy golden-light brown (more yellow with light source directly behind) with light sparkle, thin cap of white head receding pretty quickly to a ring. Aroma is very strong orange like an orange Life Saver or Fanta/Sunkist orange soda. Taste follows aroma--almost seems like fake orange as it's not an orange or orange juice but those artificially sweetened. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste with lingering orange and mild bitterness. Overall, sort of a one-trick pony and a little cloyingly sweet and too orange-y like Pedialyte or products referenced above but credit to the brewer for playing with the hop. Not entirely pleasant but it definitely says something. Can't say I've had dozens of beers that taste just like this--it's pretty unique. Perhaps in the future this should be paired with something so the orange shines through less. Kind of exciting to see how this will be used in the future. Pair it with some lactose and this would make a killer creamsicle IPA.
