I like Badger Hill and they do good work but this isn’t hitting for me. Too sweet and too much orange. Very fruity. Some may enjoy but it’s not for me.

12oz can. Clear to read date stamp on can bottom is 'CANNED ON 04/26/23'.
Mostly clear, deep gold colored body. One finger of tight bubble head upon pouring, and then a skim cap and ring. Leaves behind some partial walls of lacing.
Aroma has a toasted malt base and a definite orange touch. Also floral hops.
Taste has a toasted malt base and floral hops, with a lingering orange flavor. Not too sweet but does have a moderate level of bitterness.
Medium mouth feel. Crisp and clean finish, with some dryness. Very good carbonation.
Well crafted and balanced Midwest style IPA with the added measure of blood orange for nose and flavor. Easy to quaff.

Blood Orange Traitor pours a hazy copper color, with a small long lasting head . Mellow aroma, with a sweet orange note. Flavor is earthy, and on the maltier side, with a decent orange flavor. Good body and feel. Overall, a very nice, not overpowering, fruit IPA.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
Look: Pale golden, just a hint of blood orange pinkish hue
Smell: Very interesting smell, bright blood orange aroma melds with the hops incredibly
Taste: perfect balance of fruit and hop flavor, any more on either side could have ruined this very tasteful balance
Feel: Crisp and refreshing just like an IPA should be

This is easily the best beer I have ever had out of Badger Hill, I would buy this bomber whenever i see it going forward.
