About
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.

Canned 6/14/22, drunk 7/2/22. Heavy haze. Low head. Pretty mild nose, soft floral and orange juice notes with light pineapple. Gets juicier as it warms. Cracker and honey with clean yeast. Soft, light, tangerine-lemon, cracker and honey. By the books but solid.

16 oz. can. The aroma is grain, florals, grass. Flavor follows suit. Again, if you don’t what’s something that’s going to wear you down. This is relatively easy to drink and won’t get you drunk.

Can (6/14/22) pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's a cloudy light brown-dark yellow with thin cap of off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is nice mix of generic fruit and mild vegetal/herb. Taste is mix of fruit, vegetal and biscuit. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, good strength for ABV with fair complexity. Pretty good for a session.

Interesting medley of flavors. Rather light fluffy floral, slight slight tartness.

16 oz can. Dated: Get Baked 11-22-21. Aroma is cocoa powder and fig. As it warms the chocolate comes forward. Missing the dough/ donut aspect. Overall, it is a decent chocolate stout with good body. I am confused by the ridiculously high Untappd scores.

Lots of funky peach and plum flavor, crisp mid with a lingering oaky finish, delish!

Very hazy deep copper, bronze and orange coloured body with a thick, very hazy, three to four centimetre tall frothy tan head that fades slowly, but leaves an ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of grassy and floral hop notes with a light citrus bite, some dry hay with a light bit of sweetness noticeable in the nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong dry and grassy bite shows at first with a lot of alpha acid bitterness right behind, that shows a lot of punch, but a tiny citrus and stone-fruit sweetness comes through near the end with some light alcohol bite at the finish, but all balanced well. Aftertaste is fairly strong, with the hops by far the strongest, that give off a nice bitterness and punch, but the malt aspects are nice as well, leading a dry floral kick and some grassiness and not much sweetness at all on the end. Overall, a nice dry, older school IPA that's unfiltered and lacking in sweetness, but balanced well - very nice to try, but not exceptional. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Carmine Street Beers in New York (Greenwich Village), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$4,99 'Drunken Master' packaged on 04-December-2020 #1051, sampled at my house here in Washington on 10-June-2021.
