Pours a light yellow/golden color with some carbonation and not much head. On smell you pick up the licorice smell right off the bat mixed with some sweet malt. First taste the licorice overpowers everything. I don't get as much as the orange peel as it says it's brewed with. If you love licorice you will absolutely love this beer. I'm not the biggest licorice fan but it's definitely a pretty good beer nonetheless. Very clean tasting and refreshing. I wish the Orange Peel was a little more balanced in with the licorice, which for me kind of overpowers everything on this one. Could use some tweaking in my opinion but not bad at all.

A: The beer is slightly hazy yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that died down, leaving a large, thin patch of bubbles on the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of orange peels are present in the nose.
T: The taste has subtle notes of licorice along with bits of pale malts and orange peels. No bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is easy to drink and isn't as bland compared to many of the other beers in the style.

Straw-colored with a foamy white head. Lots of malt, with hints of orange peel, oats, and a bit of banana. Just enough bitterness to counteract the malt, which is a bit overwhelming.

A 330ml bottle found in Whole Foods in New York City on my recent visit state side. Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aromas of orange & herbs. Tastes of orange peel, herbs, oats & sweet malt. Aftertaste has a medium bitterness. Overall a very summery drinkable beer
