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. Cloudy, orangey golden to amber colour with small to average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Herbal-floral hoppy aroma, a perfumed yeasty touch, yellow stone fruit marmelade notes. Taste is grassy hoppy, hints of wet straw and cardboard, some hop bitterness, slightly disguised fruity undertones. Pitiable discrepancy of aroma and taste.

Slightly hazy yellow color, small white head. Sweetish malty aroma. Light to medium-bodied. Some citrus, wort and sweetish maltyness. Fruity notes too. Yeah quite Kölsch-like, quite malty with fruity notes, but that’s about it.

Deep amber color, small steady off-white head, some lace. Nutty aroma with some caramel. Light to medium-bodied. Malty, bready and nutty with spicey hoppyness in the finish. More English vibe than German.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Mother Kelly’s Bottle Shop. Pours clear yellow-gold, effervescent, with a frothy, pure white foam head. The aroma has some very nice dried wheat notes, touches of Belgian yeast, zesty lemon peel, some rind. Light sweet flavor with sourdough bread, rindy citrus, bitter straw, subtle grain husk. Wonderful balance on the finish, further dry and crispy wheat bread, more zesty and rindy citrus, understated yeast presence, refreshing bitterness, touches of husk and grass. Great stuff overall. A fairly archetypal ’Belgian table beer’. Lovely.

Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is smooth but has a carbonated nibble on the end. The pale malts are a bit stodgy. Hops are floral bitter edging toward soapy. Mild pithy orange before a light semi dry finish. A slightly soapy bitter linger. Not great and I still don’t get what Orbit are about - sorry Mario!
