Jun 3, 2008 bottle: I thought it was a picture of a snake on the front of the bottle..anyway...Amber, perhaps orangey colour. Malty aroma. At first, just tasted like a regular ale. After a bit an orange rind taste definately comes in. I’m guessing the draught is worth trying.

Jun 3, 2008 650ml Bottle. Nice pale orange with a decent white head. Biscuit malts are dominant with subtle hops and a orange finish. I was expecting the orange to come through a bit more, but it is there. A nice brew, tasty and refreshing.

May 31, 2008 650ml bomber from the LCBO. Pours a nice deep orange with a large off-white head. Aroma is really nice, biscuity malts, with citrus hops on top, a hint of orange. Flavour is even better, perfect malt backbone, and a zesty hop bite followed by the orange citrus finish and aftertaste. It’s delicate sweetness is delicious. I’m glad it comes in a larger format! The effervescence combined with the citrus is reminiscent of sprite, but it actually works well. The honey comes through more as it warms, and it’s actually very well balanced with the orange aspects. Well done!

May 17, 2008 Bottle - LCBO: Golden colour, small white head, very little visible carbonation. Aroma: Lemon sherbet, slight orange, some mild hops too. Flavour: Definite orange in there, some bitterness, a little malt hinting in the finish. Mildly fruity, the orange flavour is only evident during the swallow to me. Nice, I think it deserves better ratings than what it’s been getting in my opinion :-)

May 16, 2008 Draught at the 2008 bottle release party at Victory Cafe in Toronto. Beer poured translucent amber colour with fairly frothy white head. Aroma malty with a hint of fruit. Pleasing malty flavour with readily apparent orange notes (stronger than I recall from 2007). All in all an enjoyable, refreshing beer.

I tried this beer on May 9, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto. The beer poured a translucent orangy-brown with a thin white head. The aroma was some sweet malt, some citrus, although not really all that orangy, and some hops, although I was expecting a more hoppy assault from a beer with 5 kinds of hops in it. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, with medium carbonation, and leaves a dry feeling. The flavour had a little malt in it, and some bitter hop tones as well to round it off. A very enjoyable beer.

Apr 30, 2008 Lagerish bland ale, with some orange flavoring that seemed natural enough in this 08 release at Volo. Hops have an effet but do not add to taste. Sweetness is OK. Overall not so drinkable.

Jan 3, 2008 Bright amber colour with a small amount of fizzy white head. The nose is sweet with malt and surprisingly very little orange peel notes to be found. The fruity character of the nose comes out a bit more with a swirl of the glass. The body is light with a touch of fruit and a boring malt presence. A novelty beer that fails to do anything exciting.
