Buffalo Bills Orange Blossom Cream Ale

Brewed by Buffalo Bills Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Hayward, California USA

Dark golden with minimal head. Aroma with touch of orange. Orange hits you more on the taste. Pretty carbonated. A good thirst quencher on a hot day.

There is a cute label with a big orange on it - looks more like a bottle of hand cream than a beer. The brew is dark gold with a light head. Most impressive is the peppery orange/floral aroma, with a little yeast in there too. This tasted like a tarted up mediocre light ale, but with a nice complex flavor: orange and flowers, with a pleasantly yeasty aftertaste.

This beer had a smooth creamy body and with fantastic mouthfeel. However, I am not a huge fan of orange flavored beer, and this beer couldn’t convince me otherwise.

Fizzy orange carbonation with a paperthin palette and an overwhelming artificial flavor followed by a corn beer finish. Not one of the better fruit beers I have tried.

This beer surprised me. It had a sweet aroma and a fantastic orange flavor. I didn’t taste much of the cream though. For an orange beer, this is the best I’ve had.

bottle - Pours slightly hazy gold with a thin head and smells like an orange creamsicle. The flavor is much the same and is clearly dominated by the sweet orange taste. The body is thin with ample carbonation. I guess it’s refreshing, but I think if I want an orange creamsicle, I’ll buy an orange creamsicle.

This is a good fruit beer despite me not liking fruit beers or oranges. I rate it compared to others of the style, though, and this stands out. Nice orange aroma that hits you in the face the moment you go to take a sip. Pour was a light gold with just a little white ring for a head. Taste was thin and wet. Heavy carbonation. Tastes like carbonated orange drink. A little watery but that’s expected.
