On tap at OBF 16. Pours a yellow color with a small white head. A rotting fruity funky nose. The flavor is oranges, a bit funky, dry earthy malt. Solid.

Bottle. A- Oranges, citrus, musty, bland. A- Orange color, clear liquid, white head. T- Stale, overripe oranges, musty. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- Grabbed this because I was not thinking. And after drinking it, I can reaffirm it was a mistake to grab it. Some blood orange and tangerine but overall, very bland and a little stale tasting. Eh.

Aroma is malt and hints of hops and orange. Flavor has the orange coming on a bit stronger. Not a lot of hop or even really flavor. Palate is soft and kind of bitter; which sort of works. It’s an ok beer.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Light blood orange aroma - hint of citrus zest, maybe. Med body, nearly. Flavor is blood orange, citrus, and I’d say zest. Light caramel backbone. It is flavorful, but it isn’t in your face flavor. Makes a break. Likely a good pool beer. Finishes bitter, more than I expected at the start.
