Buffalo Bills Orange Blossom Cream Ale

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

light body, slick feel, soft carbonation, astringent, orange, clear, aminimal head, medium sweetness,

Sampled at the summer beer tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 5/29/09. Cloudy gold pour with a medium white head. Aroma of malt and oranges. Tastes of malt mixed with orange kool-aid. Not typically my style, but a refreshing summer beer.

Pours a hazy straw color with white head. Aroma of artificial orange sweetener, Taste like a watered down Sunkist. Very light and refreshing. I was pleasantly surprised.

Can split with Curly and ScottyP at the Impromtu Woody’s Ticker Tasting. Clear light yellow pour with ring of white head. Massive fake orange sunkist soda aroma and flavor. Some bitterness. Great for a chicy fruit beer, but not really for me. Very interesting though

Pale amber in color with a white head. Lots of orange and floral notes on the nose. Not so much orange on the palate but more orange blossom. They really mean it when they say "blossom" with this one. Cream comes through on the finish. My only complaint with this brew is i wish it had a bit more of a cream ale feel to it. However, it still was pleasant and I’ll be purchasing it again.

Straw colored, fluffy white head that recedes quickly. Intense tropical tangerine/fruit punch nose- way too much, in fact… smells like a sugary kid’s drink. Orange soda, mineral water, Sprite and ginger ale flavor. Medium body, zesty spice finish, eternal tingly "sticky" cinnamony aftertaste will probably require gargling with bleach to get out of my mouth. It’s actually a sorta tasty... beverage, but totally completely unbeerlike except in appearance. Recommended for dweebs who drink wine spritzers and "don’t like beer."

Pours a hazy straw yellow. Light orange aroma. Flavor is light citrus. Fairly dry cream ale.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy yellow-orange color with a small white head that faded almost immediately. The aroma was orange crush soda. The flavor was tart and tangy and was a weird mix of orange crush soda and Tang instant orange formula. Unimpressive.
