had in The Backroom, glass be shatterin in that place! ... Nice orange essence .. real nice foam .. clean, lacks complexity .. extremely refreshing .. made for the summer days .. enjoyable ..

This golden beer poured with a tiny offwhite head and a skunky aroma. I know it is hard to make a fruit beer, but this brewer did not try very hard. The flavor is thin with a tinge of orange and not much else.

Bottle from Whole Foods in Sacramento, CA. Darkly golden color with a slight white head. Aroma is definitely orange. Rather thin body with coarse carbonation. Flavor is primarily orange oil. Any bitter is the same. Ok, if orange is what you want. Maybe one of the better of this sort of thing. At least it’s not obviously lagery.

Bottled. Aroma and flavour reminded me of TANG. Basically just take a bland lager and dump some powered orange flavouring into it and there you go. Drinkable but not great.

Bottle: Clear orange nose and taste, body is light, lacks complexity and fullness.

Hazy, orangey colour. Smells like orange soda. Very orangey, fizzy. Not much body. Very soda-like.

Bottle from beeronthewall. Pours clear orangy coppery with nose of tangerine, mild malt. Tastes malty, with a pronounced orange flavor that gets more syrupy as it warms. An original idea that comes off perhaps better in theory than in practice.

Bottle. Clear tangerine color with thick white head and lasting foam. Potent orange cream soda aroma. Creamy mouthfeel with lots more orange cream flavors. Note that this brewery is also a craft soda maker...it’s sweet.
