There Will Be Blood Orange is cloudy and the color of orange marmalade, only a little lighter maybe. The head is cloudy, white, and has decent retention.
Of course the first thing I smell is ripe, fresh orange juice. Given the name I'd be worried if that weren't the case. Bready, yeasty aromas follow suit, giving a pleasant roundness to the nose. Hints of earth and orange peel carry things forward. The finish is a refreshing mix of orange juice, orange pith, and hints of biscuit malt. Biscuit malt is just present enough to remind you there's some beer in here somewhere.
Flavors skew a little more simple in their orange nature. On the one hand, that's a good thing. It tastes as though someone ran an orange through a juicer mere moments before pouring into my glass. The flavors are ripe, juicy, and well...orange flavored. And not synthetic orange flavored either, REAL orange flavored. Sure, there's a hint of bread dough and hint of yeast. But there's less beer presence on the palette than there was in the aroma.
In a lot of ways, this is a pretty good orange radler overall. I mean it tastes like fresh, ripe orange juice. It tastes as though whoever made this radler took the time to source the best oranges they could find. I just wish the beer part made its presence a little better known somewhere in the flavor and/or the mouthfeel.
