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.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, golden colour with average, frtohy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Spicy, yeasty aroma, citrusy hoppy, fruity overtones, a touch of lemon, some orange, a touch of quince, slightly bready, malty background. Taste is citrusy hoppy, and peppery spicy yeasty, some hop bitterness, lemon notes, a touch of orange. Matches the description "waxy lemons and peppery notes" thoroughly, as well as "eclectic" is appropriate if interpreted as "taking inspiration from Anglo-American and Belgian styles".

Almost no head over big-bubbled, orange-golden beer, clear. CItrus mainly, but first something milky, dough-like. Later citrus, flowery, USA hops. BItter, hoppy. Faintly toasted, and according extra bitterness. Citrus again, grapefruit, resin. LIght body, lazily carbonated. Long lasting bitter fruity mainflavour. Not half bad.

Keg at the Euston Tap - London. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy white head. The nose is a bit putrid, with loads of butyric acid, plates of parmesan, baby vomit, stomach bile. Light sweet flavor with a bit of green pepper elderflower character poking through, some lemony zing, metal, cheese. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Cheesy finish with nips of doughy sugar, vague acidity, green pepper. Aftertaste is lingering oily cheese. This is quite rough. Hard to believe the bar would sell it. I wonder if the whole batch is this way? If you see this beer on tap, try before you buy.
