May 24, 2009 Bottle. Clear yellow with a thin foamy head with poor to average retention and average lacing. Aroma is sweet malt and orange and mandarine... quite faint. Flavor is fake orange (like orange Mr freeze or orange slush) with some malt and a bit of floral hops. Slightly bitter finish. Medium body with a fizzy carbonation.

Mar 8, 2009 I haven’t had an Orange Peel since the summer when they brew it but I think I’ve had enough on patios around Toronto to nail this review like I had one yesterday. First of all, this beer falls into a great catagory for me - flavorful, unique and crisp while remaining extremly drinkable. The beer looks great - a bold orange - and possesses a subtle malt and orange aroma. The flavor is again subtle orange - enough but not too much - with a nice malt backing. Nicely balanced. Can’t wait for patio season......this brew is under rated by some - big time. Why?

Feb 11, 2009 650ml bottle, hazy amber-orange hue, with an off-white head, sweet malty, kind of orange crush soft drink nose, with a tangerine, maderin, artificial orange flavored popsicle accent, with a hint of honeyed pale, toastey malt, with a zest orane peel aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a toasty raw graininess, honeyeish pale malt, zesty orange peel character, with a kind of vitamin C orange effervescent tablet flavor, with a flowery hop leafiness, leading towards a fruity, orange crush, bittering finish.

Dec 29, 2008 bottle from Oakes and beershine. Pours a orange color with a white head. Aroma smells of fresh tangerines. Flavor hits with a nice dose of oranges and the orange peel imparts a really nice bitterness in the beer. This was a nice change and well worth seeking out.

Dec 23, 2008 Bouteille 650ml, courtoisie de Blankboy. De couleur orange et claire. Nez d un léger houbleux herbeux aux notes florales et citriques, moyen de grains de malt pâle, légèrement fruité (agrumes et zest) et avec des traces de légumes bouillis. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-fort et une texture légèrement aqueuse. Léger goût fruité (léger zest d agrumes, notes d agrumes, traces d abricots) avec de faibles traces de légumes bouillis lors de l entrée en bouche suivi d un léger-moyen goût de grains de malt pâles ainsi que des traces de pain puis en finale l on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon herbeux (herbes mouillées) légèrement asséchante. Post-goût plutôt court et légèrement asséchant, aux notes amères de houblon herbeux et de zest d agrumes.

Sep 20, 2008 Vibrant orangey colour. Orangey, apricotty aroma. Full of bitter orange peel flavour with slightly firm malts in the background. Finishes quite dry. Had on tap - maybe the bottles aren’t as good?

Sep 18, 2008 Draught at Victory cafe, Toronto. Lovely orange color with haze. Nice off-white head, served in pint glass. Fresh aroma is more spice than fruit but does have a dry orange aroma. Crisp hoppy finish that accepts and integrates the orange peel bitterness exceptionally well. Incredibly refreshing, surprisingly so. Soft, silky mouthfeel. Hits the spot in many ways, had no idea what to expect from this. Becomes juicier with every sip. Really enjoyable, oozing with zest. Sessionable quaffer that hits the H-(hop) spot without going overboard. This was one of the big surprises on the trip to Toronto.
