Description
Note:- When adding new beers there is a good chance they are from the 'White Label Series' (WLS) so please add in this format with WLS number first then beer name.

Orbit Beers grew from a passion for travel, music and beer. A journey around all the breweries in Scotland in a classic VW campervan named Brian sparked a desire to return to London and begin a new journey. We moved into our double railway arch in Walworth, South London and Orbit Beers was born. Our first beer was brewed on 1st July 2014 at our home here in SE17.

We value our independence. We are independent in the way we think about our beers, timeless styles brewed with an eye for balance and finesse. Our work is inspired by the ethos of our favourite independent record labels, who hold music and art above all else. We are Orbit Beers, we encourage you to listen, think, and drink independent.

1/2 pint draft @ Orbit taproom - Sunday roast.
Dorée, col blanc.
Arôme offre une belle claque niveau fumée - qcq fins effluves de BBQ, bacon, cold smoke avec léger parfum malté et houblonné en support.
Palais sur un excellent caractère fumé - note de 'backyard smokehouse' et de bacon, malté caramel avec une délicate amertume en support - je retrouve aussi un léger effet presque chêne fumé.

Sympa de voir que sur qcq jours à Londres, le plaisir à trouver plusieurs ref à des bières fumées et aussi des styles plus classiques.

1/2 pint draft @ Orbit taproom - Sunday roast.
Pâle, col fin blanc.
Arôme est fleuri un léger bouquet mettant le concombre en avant et un léger parfum de menthe en support. Le tout éclipse un peu le côté plus Berliner. Le tout reste assez plaisant.
Palais sur une belle note 'sour' avec de suite pas mal de concombre en support - cela apporte pas mal de fraicheur et tranche un peu avec le caractère citrique. Belle effervescence avec un effet Berliner - pâtissier en bouche, petite pointe mentholée en retrait.

Cask at Craft Beer Co Cvent Garden. Opaque light chestnut. Thin foamy off-white head Aroma has rye and spice with an initial slightly off edge. Flavourwise it has a lorra spice and rye and citrus over a resinous streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyable punchy stuff despite the initial questionable waft.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 25th October 2025. Brownish copper with sha off-white foam and full lacing. Chunky malts for the aroma. Hazelnut nuttiness, peel and hints of smoke in-mouth, and a finish of smoky maltiness. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Superb.

On tap at The Rusty Bucket, Eltham. Certainly a verbena & lime nose, splash of gooseberry jam, white grape. Taste is pretty much as you expect, a tart mix of the above. Nice though. Quite easy drinking & sour. Unsurprisingly dry. Don't mind this at all.

330ml bottle at Honest Burgers restaurant in London, England. It pours a crystal clear pale gold color with a white head and great retention. Very hoppy aroma. This has more hoppy flavor than bitter, which isn't my scene. Definitely an American hoppy style versus a British pale ale. It's a medium body. Medium carbonation and medium bitterness. Not my favorite beer. At least it's cold. A little too hoppy for me.
