Amber colored pour, almost no head formed. Big sour acetic acid impression.
A little citrus to the vinegar component, very acidic. Like wow, big time. Precursor to Mother Funker levels of acidity. Bring the Tums. The red/amber malt notes are barely discernable, thebugs crush this super sour. Like drinking orange juice after brushing your teeth.

Runs orange to amber, smells sour, taste, sour all the way.
Lots of orange all over the place, like maybe that's how they came up with the name, like taking a big swig of orange juice and then putting a 9volt battery on your tongue, and this is the face you make from the stinging sourness (see vinegar strokes).
Has this really excellent resonance to it. Astringent, but melds into citrus aspects that may not have derived from the hopping.
The word "orange" appeared three times in my handwritten notes.

Sampled 11/13/2010 at -bal fest 2010.
Pours amber with a little brown, hazy, off white head, low retention and lacing.
Aroma is vinegar, oak, wine, and a little caramel.
Flavor is vinegar, oak, red wine, a bit mild over all, grape, and a touch of sweetness.
Body is light and surprisingly drinkable considering I'm not a big fan of the flavor.
