Canned 5/11/18, "Thanks mom!"
Pours a murky solid orange-tan color, a little fizzy bubbly head, touch of lacing

Nose brings an interesting citrus, like a clementine with some pith, a young tangerine, or maybe Mandarin oranges actually, with a bit of a grassy floral hop note in the background, touch of toasty wheat and cracker malt notes

TAste brings a ton of citrus, like eating a bowl of Mandarin oranges, tons of them, with a little pith and clementines poured on top, a touch of cracker and creamy wheat, little toasty too, mild grassy and floral hops, little orange syrup, mild bitterness, drier slight sweet finish with a bit of spicy citrus rind lingering, and loads of Mandarin orange and clementines

Mouth is med bod, a bit light on the carbonation though, but softer and juicy and nice creamy

Overall a pretty nice beer, enjoyable, great citrus, good juicy taste, nice base malt and wheat, enjoyable.

 

 

 

 

Picked up a can of this at the brewery on release day. Canned 5/11/18 'Thanks Mom' written next to the date.

A - Poured into my Duvel tulip an incredibly murky pale orange straw hue with a one finger white head that fades slowly to leave a thin halo and light wisps.

S - Aromas of orange zest, big lactose nose, light vanilla. Smells like a bitter orange creamsicle! On heavy swirls though, when still quite cold, I do get flashes of raw alcohol. Without that I really enjoy the nose. Very, very bright orange juice and lactose.

T - Taste is similar to the nose. Big big orange notes, slightly bitter, nice vanilla, really creamy. Tastes like I'm drinking a glass of melted orange creamsicle. The hops provide enough bitterness to give this a lingering orange citrus peel finish. Really fun.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, little smooth, creamy. Needs more carbonation, which I think tends to be the trend with Exhibit A cans. The carbonated and body tend to gear towards a thinner mouthfeel.

O - Overall this was a very tasty beer. I've had this flavour profile before in other beers, some of which even managed to pull off a 'woody popsicle stick', but never someone local. Really great to see this coming from Exhibit A.
