3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: AUG 13, 2005 Cloudy early autumn leaves in color with a large and long lasting white colored foam. Fresh coriander, but predominantly orange peel spicing in the aroma, which when put together smells like bitter tang. Enjoyable yeast character, which I have come to expect from this brewery, but the orange peel addition was too much for me and what makes it worse is that it’s bitter orange peel, not sweet orange peel. So it makes for an overwhelming bitter tang flavor, without much to balance it out.

Smells like orange peel and zestiness. Also, the orange peel flavoring is very evident, more than any spice. I might like this beer even more if I was a big orange juice fan.

This orange-colored ale poured with no head whatsoever, eliciting a sour aroma. At first, I thought the beer had gone bad, since the flavor was flat with a bitter finish. After a few sips I started noticing citrus and spice flavors that were actually rather pleasant. This is a very unique brew that is probably not for everyone, but was interesting to me.

Prety unimpressive looking at first, just a soft yellow with a slight haze. The aroma however really picks up the tempo. Real spicy and notes of tangerine, lemon and cinnamon. Flavor is rather similar, but with a noticable bitterness. It really comes off as a lightly spice, citrus sweet and decently malty offering. One really nice find.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is very light and primarily of wheat. The flavor is sweet wheaty and somewhat acidic.

Yellow color. Hazy, no head. Flavor is: orange! Very unique. I’ve never tasted anything like this. (And isn’t that what this is all about?) Very fresh. Very weird.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle 33 cl) Very orangey golden with a very small head. Incredibly fresh citrusy nose - or orange nose to be precise. Very sourish orange flavours and fresh, perfumy notes of coriander. No malt at all. 180705
