12 ounce can thanks to hershiser2! 9/23/23. Hazy amber, medium white head, average retention. Aroma of intense blood orange, pale malt. Taste is strong blood orange, pale malt, small bit of grapefruit and vanilla. Juicy, no bitterness.

Relatively crisp copper and light orange glowing coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall off-white head that starts nice and fades pretty quickly without leaving much on top, but a bunch on the sides. Relatively pungent aroma of bright oranges, tangerines, flowers, grass, hay and a lot of dry herbal notes with some fresh hops noticeable, but a bunch of the fruity, even slightly tart notes here - nice! Light to Medium-bodied; Strong fresh orange flavours dominate here with a tiny hop bitterness, but much more acidic and tart notes from the orange peel/curacao and a big kick of herbal notes on the end that are supported nicely by the malts. Aftertaste is slightly dry but showing a very nice pungent and even tart profile with a ton of fresh, pure orange notes, and not much else, but what is here is great! Overall, a nice beer, and while I'm not sure what style this really fits into, it's nice and reminds me of either a fruit beer or a fruited saison - nice and crisp with good fresh fruit notes throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Falls Church (Skyline), Virginia on 08-September-2022 for US$1,84 sampled in my hotel room here in [inner harbor] Baltimore, Maryland on 25-October-2022.
