tap at brewpub-pours lite orange with barley any head. big orange rind nose almost smells articial though and real pungent. flavors are very similar but still feels and tastes artificial. not bad for the chic drinkers here, including the crew of cougars that sat behind me who were raving about this brewery and this beer (they were brainless!)

[Tap @ Brewery] Orange all around. Lightly hazed orange appearance, lots of orange sweetness on the nose. Lightly malty, a touch bready, strong orange flavor. Very light ale, not sure why they’re calling it an amber. Orange is both the strength and its weakness in that it’s a little overdone - especially ahving seen a better and more crafty example from Hangar today.

Served on tap at Big Bear Mountain Brewery. The appearance is a slightly hazy golden orange hue. The aromas are strong with a McDonald’s Orange Drink aroma that takes me back to me T-ball days. I dig it. The flavors have a powdery orange taste that runs through the beer. Light hop additions. If you like fake orange drinks you’ll love this brew. The mouth is nicely carbonated (unlike most of their beers this evening). I enjoyed this one.

A: The pour is a hazed light orange/amber color with no head to speak of. S: This beer stings the nostrils, and not in a good way. Paint thinner, orange rinds, and Vick’s Vapor Rub work well to clear a sinus problem but aren’t really what I look for in a beer. T: This is what a mixture of orange peel infused cologne and Vick’s Vapor Rub would taste like. Simply dreadful and it burns a little bit. M: The body is thin with almost no carbonation and an intense heat as though taking a drink of liquor. D: Truly dreadful. This might be good for a head cold, but it’s nothing I would ever wish to drink again.

Draft. Amber beer with a whitish head. Big orange aroma. Orange and hay flavor with light mineral notes. Lighter bodied. Orange and light malt lingers with light grass.

Hazy light orange with no head. Orange blossom and malt aroma. Sweet orange soda taste with a bready finish.

Aroma is strong oranges. Perhaps artificial. Pours an amber with a small bubbly head. Flavor is dominated upfron by the oranges, there is a mild caramel malt flavor that comes through, but damn this orange flavor is strong. Medium bodied. After a few, the orange flavor becomes very sweet and sits heavy in you, almost like you are drinking a shit load of fanta. Not bad after the first pint, but the more you drink, the grosser it gets.
