Jumo
Dageraad Brewing

 

Look: Pretty shade of orange-gold with slight haze (sediment disturbed in handling?). No head, but it has a constant flow of rising bubbles, even to the last mouthful.
Smell: Funky tropical fruit. Mild fresh bread with yeast. Very mild scent I can't identify that only shows up for seconds after swirling the glass.
Taste: Nice funky sour. Tastes like the memory of an orange with an aftertaste like someone has squeezed bitter orange peel oil on your tongue. All the flavors work together so well that this tastes like a beer somehow made from a single ingredient. Even though there is so much fruit flavor, it is nothing like a radler.
Feel: The carbonation is prickly on the tongue, more like a coke than a beer. It bursts into a coarse foam that isn't very chewy. Light body that seems out of place with the flavor level.
Overall: I avoided this in the local store for a few weeks. Something about the label made me think this was just another fruit beer, and turned me off. The label says in three places that it doesn't contain oranges. Maybe the label shouldn't have a stylized image of an orange on it. This is light enough to drink every day of summer.
