Eh, this didn't inspire confidence from the pour, but the outlook improved from there. A decent smell of well, orange blossom I guess (smelled more like orange rind, but hey).
Taste, you know, some fruit beers over do it, but this one found nice balance between the orange flavor and the usual ale flav. Nice. Stuck around, didn't evolve, but didn't disappear.
Drinkable to a degree. Nice one, but two may be pushing it.

DATE: July 20, 2017... OCCASION: orange cream ale showdown, after sampling Czig Meister's own take... GLASSWARE: Howard's Pub pint... pours a pale gold body with active, steady bubbles that build a snow-white creaminess that drifts... sharp, pitched orange citrus, almost to an astringent quality... tough to detect other scents, besides ginger, honey, and apple... fizzy, mellow, sippable, but with a lingering malt effect... cream soda buzz combines with a zesty orange peel to dominate the profile... slightly sour, with strong orange and clementine, this is some dish water with a vibrant finish.... this just doesn't present as a beer, so I feel it difficult to rate this much higher than the parts themselves...

Pours a dark golden color with a foamy head that disappears quickly. Aroma is citrus and orange. Tastes of tangy oranges with a bit of sweetness from the honey.

Nice beer, better enjoyed in Summer than in February. Cloudy golden color, light head, subtle orange and honey notes, as you would expect, and you will be overcome by the sensation of Summer with every sip.
