Wrath of Rhan Blood Orange IPA
Core Brewing & Distilling Co.

Wrath of Rahn has a very thick, overflowing, ivory head, a deep orange, opaque appearance, and heavy glass lacing. Aroma is of dark bread, oranges, and hop resins. Taste is of dark, brown bread crust, orange pith, and hop resins. There is robust, but not particularly strong, hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is chewy, and Wrath of Rahn finishes midway wet to dry.

Poured from 12-ounce can into a tulip glass. Clear, deep amber in color, with a two-finger off-white head that left some beautiful lacing as it settled. Big pop of citrusy, piney aroma upon opening the can. Once in the glass, the aromas and flavors were malt forward. Quite a bit of caramel sweetness on the palate, with notes of orange, orange zest, pine, and resin. Medium mouthfeel, with some sticky bitterness lingering on the palate. This sample carried a "DESTROY BY" (sic) date of 01FEB18 on the can, so I was just under the wire on it. Still, an excellent beer overall.

Pours a deep tan with minimal head and some mild lacing.

The smell is orange and some hoppy citrus.

The taste is some orange, some bitter pine resin, and basic hop bitterness with a small malt balance.

The mouthfeel is medium bodied and higher carbonation.

Overall a decent beer with less citrus and orange than I expected.

 

 

Pours an efferevescent gold with a thumb of cream colored head. Nice lacing, slightly above average head retention

S: Orange peel & juice, some breadyness

T: Nice orangey flavor up front, a little bready, with some leafy hops too. Bready & dry with the usual house yeast flavor, with leafy & citrussy hops once warm. Finishes dry, bready with leafy hops & orange peel

MF: Medium body, moderate carbonation, good balance

Drinks easy, was expecting more, kind of reminds me of Fat Tire wth some orange peel & leafy hops
