This one seemed to be overdone. Once poured in the glass, the orange (and a thick orangy pulp scent at that) aroma was noticable. The honey made it smell and taste more egg-like. The wife said ’vomit’. The head remained for a resonable period. Malt was there, but hops were only noticable at the very end of the swallow process. I don’t recommend it very much.

Hazy gold with a thick, fluffy white head. Aroma of orange zest. Flavor is sweet and thick with orange. Mildly citric burn in the finish. Interesting. Good.

My first sip and I thought it was Orange Fanta. It almost looked like it too. The aroma was more hoppy than I would have expected. As I drank more, there was a clear bitterness in the aftertaste. It really seems to be almost an orange version of a Mexican michelada. Pretty pleasant overall.

Pours a light hay color from the bottle with a slight head of white foam that quickly dissapates. Loaded with the aroma of oranges that continue into the flavor. Mildly carbonated, and unfortunately a little skunky--the combination creates a diet mimosa sort of experience.

Aroma - Zesty orange overpowers everything. Smells like a can of Orange Crush

Appearance - Clear gold with a fizzy white head that is fleeting to say the least

Flavor - Citrusy sweet, tangy, similar to aforementioned soft drink

Palate - Light body, explosive effervescence, but at least it’s pretty clean

Overall - If I wanted a soft drink, I would go get one. This is pleasant enough, but it just doesn’t seem like beer.

Let’s go against the tide here! This pours a nicew light orange color with great carbonation. the nose is definately a delicate orange. Head disipates too fast. Nice taste with an Orange dreamcicle taste that’s not overboard. definately a cream style. Great cold on a hot summers day!
