Commercial Description:
Orange Blossom Amber is a classic American Lager style of beer, only made with fresh orange peels. This "festival favorite" was invented late night while Rick Lovett was brewing a test batch of beer and had eaten several oranges. He threw the peels into the boil.

Clear orange-infused gold with almost no head. Carbonation looks very fizzy. Smells like a freshly peeled orange, with a tiny bit of sweet maltiness. Tastes like someone poured a shot of orange soda into a Budweiser. Very watery and oddly low on carbonation despite the initial fizziness. Refreshing but immensely one-dimensional and boring.

Bottle thanks to Swalden28. The look is clear, orange in color, with a white head. The smell is orange, artifical, like fake orange popsycles, and weird. The taste is like tang, orange, malts, and not very good.

(12oz bottle, courtesy of Swalden 28) Pours a lightly hazy golden orange body with a small white head. Aroma of Tang and some dustiness. Flavor of watered down orange soda.

12 oz. bottle poured into flute- poured 85% transparent darkened orange color, low carbonation of very tiny bubbles, very thin wisps of white foam around the glass for a head. Thick artificial aroma of oranges upfront with powdered sugar and wheat in the background. Hits the mouth with a thin body, first sip makes me want to spit it back out- orange is very apparent and it just does not mesh well at all with the other ingredients. Malt is light in the middle, finish fades like water, leaving a slightly disgusting taste old orange zest in the mouth. Perhaps if I light up a smoke it will help... nope. Eat an actual orange with it... nope. Orange Blossom Special by Cash cranked up... nope. Dang- I hope their other "musical" brew is better upcoming...

Orange in color wit an average sized white head. Aroma is of orange tang, orange popsicles and Sunny-D. Taste is the same but heavily watered down like church kool-aid.

Pours yellowish, hazy and with a very small and short lived white head. Smells like orange glo. Strong orange and orange rind smell and somewhat artificial and cleaner like. Taste is water with lager like maltiness and orange rind and a touch of orange oil concentrate, or something to that effect, thrown in. Tastes like orange alka seltzer water. Low carbonation and almost flat and a light body as well. Not very good.

Bottle from Swalden28. Pours golden with some white fizz a-top. Aroma of Sunny-D and seltzer water. Taste is water, seltzer, congealed orange peel and a bit of spice. Nothing else. Fizzy. The commercial description sounds very unsanitary to me as a homebrewer.
