Pour looks like fruit juice with a large white head. Aroma is orange juice for days. Orange peel, orange juice everything oranges. Flavor is again pretty much all orange juice with a little bitterness after the swallow. Sure it's one dimensional with pretty much all orange juice flavor but extremely fruity and fresh.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours light brassy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of jalapeno with some supportive rather light malt. Med body or so. Flavor is jalapeno with some citrus fruit. The chili is not disturbingly hot. It’s mainly jalapeno flavor with very mild heat. It is actually quite nice. My body indicates capsaicin is not very present. Nice ale.

16 oz can poured, surprisingly found and picked up at Hop and Hound, Bothell. Surprised and not surprised. Eric is the man! Cloudy, yet bright golden orange pour. Always a treat to try a brew from my favorite sub style. Petitioning to make it it's own style, one rate at a time. Garden pepper nose. Flavor is super "green" with pepper flavor, and little to no heat. I feel like the cream sweetness cancels out the pepper heat, and we are left with some garden like malt, mild peppers flavor. Lingering palate is about identical to the flavor palate of eating a taco. Good thing you got a taco truck out front, and some Mezcal, Matt!

On tap at Willimantic, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out loads of stone fruits, moderate dank hops and biscuity malt. Flavour is super juicy, with loads of juicy tropical stone fruits, moderate dank hops and citrus. So juicy and tropical. This is awesome.

Curious gimmick, completely pointless, really, brewing a light-colored beer and then adding enough adjuncts it tastes in the vicinity of a chocolate milk stout. Sweet, with a noticeable choco-vanilla backbone that makes you wonder how “natural” the natural flavors listed on the can actually are. Hints of marshmallow and caramel add to the sweetness, ultimately growing cloy and hollow as the pint warms. But, hey, it’s an amber stout, so...hooray? Pass.

Pours deep hazy blood orange into a tulip. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy lacing. Coffee and caramel aromas. Soft with sweet mocha and vanilla front to back. Becomes cloying and bitter in the lasting finish.

Draught @ City Hops. Clear golden with large foamy off-white head, orange peel aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter orange peel taste with mango, light alcohol undertones, thin body, long finish with boozy aftertaste. Tastes a bit boozy, could be masked better.

Can, from City Hops. Pours hazy orange with small frothy whitish head, faint orange peel aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter orange peel taste with a bit of pineapple-melon, smooth body, long finish. Nice, smooth and easy to drink.
