Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5
Very hazy, deep and opaque rich orange and thick straw yellow coloured body, with a nice two centimetre tall off-white and tan head that caps the beer nicely. Aroma of oranges, lactose, cream, vanilla, light grass, a dash of honey and some deep resin, but this seems very flavourful and hoppy. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong orange-y and light grassy notes come through at first with some assertive bitterness from the fresh hops and ending with a light sweetness of candy and light fruits with the citrusey notes front and centre, but a deep, pretty noticeable malt backbone that hits nicely throughout. Aftertaste is deep, rich, hoppy, but balanced nicely throughout, with a good fruity sweetness with some additional honey, too, but a solid bitterness from the very fresh hops, with a relatively easy-going finish, but good for the style and respectable throughout. Get it if you like the style and can find it - the great name, theme and can make it that much better, too! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Newport News, Virginia on 20-November-2022 for US$3,50 sampled at my house here in Washington about a month later on 22-December-2022.
