Draught at some random restaurant/bar in Tarrytown (on Main St, can’t remember the name) on 12/28/15
Clear, large-bubbled liquid is a bright tangerine color with a small, off-white head that recedes quickly to a ring.
Light citrus in the nose dosent really say blood orange or hops. Could be either, though I guess there is a slightly more distinctive orange fruit note (softer, more lightly sugary than the hops would suggest). Clean with very little in the way of malt and no alcohol noted.
Wet, lightly watery and medium-light to light bodied, the beer nonetheless has a true enough orange fruit flavor and it’s not overdone. Unfortunately, the rest of the beer is a bit drab, showing off grainy, hard malts and just a touch of honey-like sweetness. Light hop bitterness and citric acid sit on the finish. Not sure a pale ale is the right vessel for a blood orange beer....also this beer needs a longer name.

Draught @ Waterfront Ale House. Inky black with small tan creamy head, mocha aroma, thin body, chocolate taste with alcohol undertones, low carbonation, long finish with bitter aftertaste. Did not get the licorice at all.

12 ounce bottle thanks to the infamous Dave W. Thanks! Pours a clear dark brown with a large foamy brown head. Good head retention. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malt, mild anise. The taste is chocolate, nuts, roasted malt, caramel, hints of anise. Medium bodied, decent balance, good beer, though the apples and cinnamon don’t make a dent here.
