12 oz. can. Pours an opaque raspberry jelly color with a small khaki head and fair retention. No lacing. No aroma at all. Tastes like raspberry jelly too. Sweet, but not sickly sweet. Short finish with low carbonation. It's a nice fruit drink, but needs a bit more beer flavor.

Draft. Amber body with a short, off-white head. Aroma of bread, cookie, caramel, floral hops, light dough. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Average.

Can, best by May 11th 2019.

Pours a straw gold, decent head of foam, umm...I see black floaties. What's up with that??

Smells like an AAL, grainy, corny, only the slightest bit of a hint of any heat.

Taste is watery, lightest of light hints of chile. Mishandled can? Maybe.

Light and watery mouthfeel.

I can't believe how bad this is.

Can best by December 9th 2019.

It pours a not quite clear gold with a good head of foam that shrinks to a fine layer after a few minutes. As I tilt my glass from side to side, there is some lacing.

I take a few whiffs and thank goodness, I can smell blood oranges! The boldest nose of the fruit that I have ever encountered, I reckon. Citrus bitterness lies beneath.

The hop bitterness kind of swallows up the blood oranges in the initial sips and had me worried because I thought that the smell was primo. The fruit does show up but mostly in the finish, darn it. So promising. There now, the blood oranges seem to be gaining momentum now that I am aboot half way through. Whatever malt presence I get seems to be toasted.

The mouthfeel is fine and there's a long lingering flavour of the oranges that lasts to the bitter end.

Looking for a blood orange IPA? Give this one a shot.

A single I bought, best before November 25th 2019. A forewarning, I am not a fan of their beers from past experiences.

The look is nice. Brown liquid sitting under a head of slightly off white foam. Lacing is above average.

The smell is maple sweet, roasty, definite nutty notes going on.

Maple sweet taste, little nuttiness flavour, leans towards the bland taste wise, body gets thin to watery in the finish. Looks and smells promising but fails to deliver when it really counts. Something that I have said before aboot this brewery's beers so I am not that surprised. One and done.

Quick can at home. Very hazy orange juice pour. Nose is light blood orange and some florals. Tastes of orange rind, blood orange pulp and bitters, grass, floral as welll. Light bodied and easy drinking.
