Bottled summer 2015 ("batch 277"); drank 6/27/15 @ the Yarchives.

Poured from the bottle into a glass.

Semi-opaque orange appearance.

White head; strong lace.

Burnt caramel & faint citrus notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Caramel & mild citrus flavors up front; a bitter, bruising finish. Very little flavor & a brutal finish. Not good.

22 oz. bottle, handwritten Batch #277 on the label. The latest DIPA creation from Spiteful, this one brewed with blood orange puree.

Poured into a clear balloon snifter.

A - It pours a golden burnt sienna orange body, less than a finger of head. Head retention is fairly weak. Some moderate scattered sticky lacing left behind after each sip. Looks good for what it is.

S - The juice / rind flavor of the blood oranges comes through nicely on the aroma. Smells mildly tart / citric, for sure. Mild alcohol fumes.

T - Juicy and citric. The blood orange puree and rind flavor comes through very nicely. A bit of sweetened caramel malts, piney / resinous hops, and some alcohol fumes come through, but the blood orange juice masks them all for the most part.

M - The feel is smooth, crisp, and easy-drinking for the moderate 8.40% abv. Citric and orangey on the finish.

Overall, the blood oranges come through very nicely and authentically. A decent DIPA from Spiteful. I look forward to seeing more beers like this.

Spiteful Brewing Cleetus The Slack-Jawed Yokel -----4/5.

Overall a very good beer that I would gladly drink again. Sweet and citrusy, however I wish the finish was drier.
