A- Pours a bright and brilliant orange in color with a big, frothy head. The head sticks around for a good long while and laces very well too. The body of the beer is very hazy.

S- When the smell hits the nose there is a mix of hops bitterness, light wheat grain, and a touch of boozy bitterness on the back end. In the middle of the scent the orange peel shows off a little with a touch of fruitiness.

T- Wow, so right off the bat, I think this is from last year's batch. Where I anticipated hops and wheat, I got diluted orange and faint wheat flavors with just a touch of mild hops bitterness on the end. While this is way past its prime, the orange flavor that it presents is fairly good. The beginning and middle of the drink is mostly light wheat and semi sweet orange peel. Just a touch of the hops bitterness enters at the end of the drink and balances the fruit and wheat. I can see what they were going for in the fresh beer, and all of the components are here still, but this has to be way better fresh.

M- This beer is smooth on the palate and fairly low in carbonation, which supports its alcohol level. The flavor is light, fruity, and very summery. Fairly easy to drink.

Overall, I think this would be a very good beer when drank fresh. Even well past its prime, this isn't a bad beer. I need to revisit this one fresh in a few months.

 

 

 

 

 

Malty, but the citrus flavors are overwhelming and detract from the beer. Thin mouthfeel. Very nice lace retention. Not one of Mother's best offerings.

I really enjoyed this beer from Mother's. Nice medium copper color in appearance. I definitely got a malty, bready taste up front. Midway through more citrusy with a nice bitterness of hops on the back end. Smells of citrus orange peels. Mouthfeel is terrific. Good lace retention. Very delightful character brew from Mother's. Overall a solid beer and It's worth trying for sure.
