Orange Whip
Fortside Brewing

“Who wants an Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Orange Whip? Three Orange Whips!” No fruit was harmed in the making of this “Juicy” IPA. In fact, there is no “juice” in this IPA. Rather, it is a real IPA that benefits from heaps of El Dorado and Mosaic Hops which give it succulent aromas and flavors of orange, tangerine and grapefruit. We think this IPA predicates Juiciness! Uh, and if you don’t know, now you know.

 

Rated 5-4-2019. Have had this beer a few times. I remember a nice creamy head on this beer which is Fortside's flagship beer. It almost has the flavor of a creamsicle ice cream bar. Really good considering that there isn't any added fruit. 60 IBUs Rated 12-8-2023

Had on tap. Yellow opaque hazy body, very solid looking, white cap, spotted lacing. Big orange, decent grapefruit, lime, and pineapple with mild hops in both smell and taste. Feel is juicy and smooth, medium-light bodied, crushable with solid hops rounding out. Not life changing but good all around

 

My new goto IPA. I could drink this every day.

Six pack of cans purchased at Total Wine in Lynnwood, Washington.
"Canned strong" on 07/09/19. Poured in to a pint glass.

Look- Hazy, golden amber color, solid white head with great retention, nice lacing. Steady carbonation streaming as it sits.

Smell- Citrus (orange, tangerine, grapefruit and lemon/lime), tropical fruit (pineapple and mango), pine, candied stone fruits and a bit of berry. Light notes of grass and spice.

Taste- Follows the nose for the most part, juicy citrus. Tangy but sweet malts really balance this one out.

Feel- Medium bodied with a crisp dry finish. Moderate carbonation.

O- A very nice local, session type, IPA. Kind of shocked I haven't had this before. A definite repurchase.

 

 

Delicious, the low abv makes this hazy great after a day of golfing. One of the best new Hazys out there. The store I shop at can't keep it in stock.
