Orange Blossom has a taste of orange and honey that comes from the honey Orange Leatherwood. To give Orange Blossom a nice, delicious taste, we have added First Gold, Saaz and Cascade as the three hops.

500ml Bottle - Copper/dark amber in colour. Hops, toffee, marmalade and dried fruit in the aroma. Sweet, tangy and hoppy taste with orange, toffee, dried fruit and grapefruit. Very enjoyable.

Sample. Hazy amber body with off-white head. Flavour is malt, caramel and notes of what I assume is the honey from orange trees.

500 ml bottle. Clear amber body with a disappearing off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt, caramel, hops and a hint of orange. Flavor is quite sweet, some caramel, a fruity bitterness (like the white stuffer under orange peel) and a hint of hops and spices. Long, sweet and gentle bitter finish. Not totally great, but interesting and well worth a try.

500 ml bottle, now available in Norway at Vinmonopolet. ABV is 6.0%. Ingredients include 2% orange flower honey, E223 and E300. Golden brown colour, big light tan head with an orangey hue. Unusual and initially interesting aroma of orange peel, spices, oak, fermenting fruits and apple cider vinegar, then some less pleasant "industrial" and sulphurous notes take over. The flavour has caramel and some honey sweetness, with notes of orange peel and undefined fruits. Very little bitterness. Props to Grauballe for brewing unusual beers, but this one doesn’t blow my socks off.

Bottle. Mostly clear, copper body with some yeasty cloudyness and a nice but diminishing, dense, beige head. Sweetness, caramel, a little roastyness, some spicyness and hops in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and a bit fruity, roasted, and slightly coffee-ish, and has a touch of spices. Full to medium body and a long, sweet and a bit spiced finish with a nice bitterness. It’s brewed for Christmas, and I think it would do nice at Christmas time as well. A well-crafted brew. Rating: 7-4-7-4-15-3.7. (071027)

Bottle. It pours a clear amber body with a small beige head. Orange-peel, honey, caramel-notes and malt in the aroma. Actually a touch of alcohol too, but only a touch. In the mouth too, there’s orange-peel, tasting more like the white layer between the peel and the orange. There’s also honey, malt, a little grainy touch, a hint of alcohol, and a little bitterness. It’s more like orange-peel bitterness than hoppy bitterness. Full-bodied and with a pleasant carbonation level. Orange, honey, sweetness and bitterness blended nicely in the finish. Medium duration. Even though the honey and orange-peel are supposed to do a lot of the job, I would like it hoppier and more hop-bitter, but it’s a nice and quite delicious beer. Compared to other beers, it don’t deserve my rating, but on the other hand, I’m not sure where to cut down. And I usually don’t like honey in my beers either. Ended up lowering the overall by a point. (081028)
