On tap at a random Irish pub in downtown Disney. Clear light golden, highly carbonated. Nice floral fruity nose. Nice tight lean dry finish. Doesn’t drink much like a pilsner but it is a really nice patio pint. FLVC2 #20

Bottle. Pours a clear dark golden color with a smallish white head. Nose is just a tad skunky like a lot of lagers. Taste is same, with a tinge of sweetness. Meh.

Orange Blossom Pilsner has a unique orange-honey flavor that makes for a great showcase of Florida culture. The pour has a thin head but a nice orange color. The flavors are there but very light and the honey doesn’t add too much sweetness. Overall, a good session beer but not notably outstanding.

jordinc (102) - Orlando, Florida, USA - JAN 19, 2013
Poured light golden with a quickly receding white head and light lacing. Not much by way of aroma. Pretty heavily carbonated, dry on the palate. Orange blossom notes do come through and the result is quite refreshing. There is a hint of grainy liquor that lingers on the tongue. An interesting take on the style, maybe a little bland if drinking more than one.

HopTsing (329) - Sandston, Virginia, USA - DEC 30, 2012
From the tap poured a pale golden brew with a skimpy white head. Floral, honey aroma. Light bodied with flavors of orange, honey and very little hop.

Tap. Dark golden worth thin head and light lacing. Smells like cereal and honey and sweetness. Tastes sweet followed by dry with a hint of metal. Fairly high carbonation, light dry finish.

This is a fun beer. Orange pilsner is tastey. I found it very enjoyable, and I wasn’t expecting that at all.

GTAEgeek (774) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - NOV 5, 2012
12 oz. bottle. Pours ginger ale gold with no head and lots of fizzy bubble. The aroma is resin, lemon peels, coriander, and honey. The flavor is sweet and mildly bitter. There is a little spiciness in the finish. The palate is light, bubbly, and silky. Overall, this is a surprisingly interesting pilsener.
