Buffalo Bills Orange Blossom Cream Ale

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

I can’t believe how bad this is. Looks like Bud, maybe a little darker. Thin orange aroma. Body is watery and fizzy like Sprite. Tastes like they dumped some orange cough syrup in this. A drain pour.

I was very surprised at how much this actually tasted like Orange Cream. Usually you get a subtle flavor in such novelty beers. Not this one. It tasted like an orange creamscicle. Very good served very cold. Initially it was very delicious. After 4 of them I never wanted to touch this stuff again. The flavor is too much. It’s like eating Skittles. You get most of the way through, then you just end up giving the rest away. I can imagine old southern women enjoying this ale on hot summer evenings. This would be perfect drink to be served with salad

Bottled. Light amber-orange color. Decent white head. Smells like an orange soda. Tastes like an orange soda. Slight bitter aftertaste. This ain’t beer.

Pours a brilliant copper-gold color. It is topped by a rapidly disappearing off white head. The aroma is of vanilla cream orange soda as I pour it, as I go in for a deeper sniff this is even more apparent. To be honest I don’t smell any beery aspects. The taste is lightly sweet up front and as you swallow this beer the orange really opens up and expresses itself. This is very smooth, with no bitterness at all, which would perhaps be out of place in this beer. This is actually not too bad, if I wanted something refreshing, light and fruity on a hot summer day outside in the sun, I might actually reach for this. I can see this really appealing to certain segments of the beer drinking public.

Upon its decamping the 12-ounce brown bottle the beer sets in the glass an unclouded golden amber color with a middling in size frothy white head that dissolves quickly leaving a velum like sheet of lace upon the glass. Nose is sweet orange blossoms, fresh and crisp, start is nicely malted and somewhat sweet and the top light to medium in feel. Finish is dynamically acidic with the hops subdued and pleasantly spicy, very dry aftertaste a quite nice beer overall.

Very orangey - in flavor, aroma, and appearance. Drinkable - but probably isn’t going to make many best beer lists. It’s different.

off-white foamy head rapidly diminishing, dark golden body color with fizz up the center. notes of orange flower water, light grass, and orange taffy! light to watery mouthfeel, like club soda with orange flower water taste. lively carbonation. tamgy artificial orange peel aftertaste. was hoping for fuller flavor. oh well! will someone try brewing an orange lambic??

Clear dull yellow body and vanishing bubbly white head similar to seltzer water. Flowery sweet nose of honey, orange/pineapple citrus, shredded wheat and butter. Smells like Trix actually. Sweet, floral and thin with no hop character whatsoever. An interesting beer in the same way that a really bad movie is interesting.
