An abundance of oats, Two-Row, malted wheat, and a touch of lactose build a foundation for this beer that is creamy and smooth. Swirls of sweet orange and tangerine peel intertwine with Madagascar vanilla beans in a perfect harmony of citrus and silky sweetness. Finished with Citra and Eukanot hops, this brew is bright and velvety, just like the Orange Jubilee itself!

Had Orange Jubilee poured from 12-oz. can, bottom stamped "PACKAGED ON 01/26/21," and "ORANGE JIBBERISH," purchased by and split with little brother, into tumblers.

Pours murky orange-gold, leaving chunks of fruit purée in the bottom of the glass, with 1/2-finger near-white head, which quickly dissipates to a persistent thin film, leaving only a few specks of lace. Aroma of lactose to start, then sharp citrus peel. Begins with mild carbonation, then sweet mild citrus, before lactose texture and vanilla sweetness take over, and then carry into bitter citrus peel finish.

The name on the bottom of the can, "Orange Jibberish," may be the best descriptor of this tasty but conceptually muddled beer.

A sixer of 12 fl oz pull-tab cans ran me $9.49 USD plus tax at a grocer in New Orleans, Louisiana.

"India Pale Ale Brewed with Orange & Tangerine Peel, Citrus Puree, Vanilla, & Lactose." 6.5% ABV.

Served cold into a stemless wine glass.

BODY: Murky dull copper colour. Appears filtered but isn't fully transparent. No yeast/lees are visible within.

HEAD: White. ~2-3cm in height. Retention is decent (~3 minutes).

Appears well carbonated, but it's not much to look at to be honest.

AROMA: Lemon, citrus, stale 2-row malt, orange peel, imitation vanilla extract, cardboardy old pale malt.

Suggests an underwhelming beer with a dull hop profile.

TASTE: Well, it's an underwhelming beer with a dull hop profile.

Not that hops are emphasized at all...this beer is wrongly all about its additives. Tinned fruit puree, imitation vanilla, and off-puttingly sweet lactose sugar eclipse what little hop flavour might otherwise be present. Malt backbone feels stale but it's just 2-row barley/pale malt...I wonder where they sourced it.

I can't say this evokes genuine vanilla bean or citrus peel, but it does remind one of both in a cheap dollar store ersatz imitation ingredient sort of way.

TEXTURE: Sticky, coating, smooth, wet, unrefreshing, overcarbonated, spritzy.

OVERALL: A sad attempt at an IPA. So riddled with ersatz additives any hop flavour gets drowned out. Has a sticky artificiality to it that leaves it tasting cheap like one of those fruited Bud Light variants (e.g. Bud Light Lime). $9.49 USD per sixer is laughable given the lack of quality here...Sierra Nevada Torpedo runs $7.59 USD/sixer in the same market, not to mention the many turbid IPAs from Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, and the like that also cost less but pack a hell of a lot more flavour.

Tastes like the kind of beer I'd expect to pick up on discount at a Big Lots...

D+ / NOT RECOMMENDED

03/14/21 another can from the sixer (oh why'd I buy this?):

Additive-laden schlock.

Where're the hops, lads?
