(On tap @ the brewery, March 8/20) Pours a lightly hazed pink grapefruit juice coral red with a small off-white head. Aroma of blood orange, grapefruit, citrus peels, light hops. Flavour is a mix of tart juicy blood orange/grapefruit, some lactic acidity and moderately sweet lactose, vanilla hits in the middle of the sip along with some orange zest. Finish is off-dry and moderately bitter with a mix of sweet and bitter citrus notes and some leafy hops. Medium-full body, creamy, soft carbonation. I'm not sure blood orange is the ideal fruit for the smoothie treatment, a sweeter orange might be better, but solid in the early March sunshine.
