Inspired by the rich fragrance of blooming orange groves, this copper colored ale combines the flavor and aroma of real orange tree flowers with a well balanced, full flavored ale to produce a real treat for the senses. Munich and light Caramel malts produce a smooth, creamy malt complexity, and American hops give the beer a bright, refreshing bitterness and dry finish. The orange blossom aroma blends superbly with the other beer flavors, providing a unique dimension that is the perfect complement to tangy, herbal or spicy foods, soft cheeses or pastries.

    Thanks, Lou. Pours amber orange with an immediately noticable orange aroma - reminds me of orange soda or serbert ice cream. Medium-bodied and sweet. Far maltier than hoppy throughout. The orange remains more pronounced in the nose than on the pallette. All in all, a nice fruit beer.

    Interesting orange aroma, reminicent of orange crush. Nice orange/ amber colored body, o.k. white head faded quickly. Flavor of orange with a heavy maltiness, a touch of metallic presence in there.

    Canned@SBWF2010. Slightly hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is very zesty and flowery with some honeyish notes as well. Flavour is quite much the same along with some artificial sweetness and some mild medicinal notes. Mild cardboardy notes as well.

    Light amber orange pour with a frothy white head and good lacing. Sweet floral and light honeysuckle aroma with a slight Sweet-Tart and honey nose, some wet wheat and malts, little hops. Taste is also sweet floral-honey- hnoeysuckle with some malts and very little hops to cut the sweetness. Still nice on a very hot evening; almost a dessert beer due to the underlying sweetness.

    Sampled on 12/2/2009. This fruit beer pours a medium orange gold color from a 16oz can. Medium to small sized white foamy head, with decent lacing. The aroma is orange blossoms, fruity and sweet, with some malt. A light to medium bodied fruit beer. The malts are cereal, fruity and sweet. The hops are floral and spicy. Decent carbonation, but seem to go a little flat in you mouth. Nice flavors, kind of surprising to tell the truth. The orange and orange blossoms flavors add a nice aspect to this beer. A lot better than I was expecting. Light and refreshing. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

    Thanks slowrunner! This beer poured a slightly cloudy orange color with zero hed. It had strong citrus aromas with some orange zest. The flavor strongly resembled orange soda with some herbal notes to it. Strong orange on the finish.

    i agree with the first rating, adding that the experience is more similar to drinking an orange crush soda than an ale or lager. BA gives them props for uniqueness and using real orange blossoms, but this is a macro-drinking girls beer at best. 1/09-tried again, worse then i remembered, as orange crush isn't as nasty.

    An orange color with a white head. The aroma was oranges with some corn present as well. The flavor is barely present with some orange peel. Overall this was nothing awful but extremely boring.
