Description
Orono Brewing Company opened with a bang on NYE 2014 and ever since then we’ve been doing exactly what we want to do: brewing the best beer we possibly can and sharing it with friends. We love beer and we love bringing people together. We believe in paying attention to every detail, to collaboration and evolution, and to sharing the OBC experience with our growing community. It all starts with our small, tight-knit production team led by co-owner Asa Marsh-Sachs. Asa combines the experiential education and creativity of nearly a decade spent running home-brew stores with a deep dedication to running a top tier production brewery. He’s built an all-start team and together they weave the art and science of brewing together masterfully.

16oz can c/o Ryan. Intense hop tone, has some nice bitterness, fullness not typical for the style. Perhaps I am digging the Topaz. Either way, this is quite nice and holds up well even 3+ months out from canning. Great appearance, opaque orange with an oh so steady, frothy, white head. Solid for the style, enjoyable for sure.
