Looks alright! Orange color, modest head, seems to be on its way to fading fast though. Mild haziness. Nose is weird. I expected a lot of orange on the nose, but it doesn't seem to be there. Is it oxidized? Strange for a can but it might be a year old, not sure I can decipher the code on the can. (11410:14 1722). Well the nose continues to be mostly cheesy, stale, with maybe a hint of tropical fruit. Whoa, the flavor is also weird. There's a background of orange rind/resin, a bit like orange bitters. But there's also that cheesy element, a bit like some mildly funk bleu. If I pretend this is some weird belgian wild/bretty type thing, I imagine this is almost more interesting than than any orange flavored IPA. But I get the sense that this is not what South Beach intended here! Also a bit of pepper in the finish with a lingering citrus tinged bitterness.
