Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Murky amber brown in appearance with a decent off-white head. Aroma is of light hops, fruity, slightly medicinal (probably due to the bitter orange PILL that the label says they use). citrus, and perfume. Taste is tart, orange and grain.

Courtesy of bu11zeye. Hazy dark amber color with a tan head. Funky cheesy barnyard lite aromas. Medium body with soft carbonation. Spicy sweet flavors with candi sugar and cucumbers. Anything goes Italian ale.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The smell is fruits, yeast, alcochol, florals, and oranges. The look is cloudy, amber in color, with a decent off white head. The taste is light tart, fruits, spices, florals, and yeast.

Claims to be brewed with bitter orange pill? In any case, hazy deep amber, slight head didn’t last long. Aroma was caramel, molasses, raisin, and some papery notes. Flavor matched, with raisin and paper notes dominating. Maybe they used a ton of Special B in this one. Struck me almost like it was oxidized. Too bad, could have been interesting.

Flavor is light to medium sweet. Tastes of malts, yeast, slight caramel, slight cocoa, and and some vanilla. Medium body. Oily texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet, yeasty finish.

bottle thanks to bu11zeye, orange in color with soapy head, light citric fruity nose, with a fruity citrus flavor, thin for my taste

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Foamy off white head over hazy orangish brown body. Citrus and yeast in the nose with some funk. Nice sour bite, but not overwhelming with some citrus.
