This is a review of the French brewed version.

Pours a hazy pale yellow with soapy head and lots of lacing.

Smell is fruity with notes of peach, citrus, grass and lemon candy.

Taste is fruity and a bit dank and herbal. Notes of citrus, peach, grass and lemongrass. Soft bitterness and a slight hint of booze.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft and well carbonated.

Overall, a very nice, slightly one-dimensional IPA.

 

 

 

 

Modest starting head but it lasts and leaves ample lacing in the form of streaks. Milkshake cloudy which provides some white hues to the decidedly amber color.

I can smell the pine aromas as the beer comes out of the can. Biting and bitter on the second whiff, like crushed bugs or ground up thistle.

The flavor is slightly more mellow but still very hop laden. The paler malts stand up nicely on the initial sip. Richer than the average DIPA with a higher carbonation level as well. The straight up bittering hop shows up quickly culminating with a hop pellet taste when swallowing. Long aftertaste. Overall, this is not a complicated beer but it delivers the hop bite if that's what you want.

 

16oz can with no freshness dating, bought at the brewery in October. Opened 12-18-21.
1" white head, good retention. Early beginnings of full lace.
Hazy pale gold - not opaque and not clear.
Triumvirate of citrus, stone, and tropical fruits in an expressive and vivid aroma. Even some bright lime and blueberry notes.
Passion fruit, berries and cream, melon, and ripe orange.
Medium body and carbonation with a bright entry. Hoppy and juicy in an off-dry, pound-able finish.
Infinitely drinkable even at 8.6%.
Outstanding.

 

 

This is simply fantastic, blows anything Weldwerks has done recently out of the park. Absolutely wonderful, looks like carbonated pulpy fruit juice, tastes is piney hoppy citrus. Idk I love this. Kinda get the hype after this one.

 

 

Clearish yellow-gold haze, turned opaque after second pour from the can. Big fluffy, frothy head. Mango, pineapple, resinous pine and earthy finish. Soft, pillowy umami, seems to be a consistent theme with ORB pale ales. Satisfying, enjoyable, definitely recommend

 

Mid to full on opaque in the pour; creamy looking; decent head; solid retention. Smells of blueberry musk, lemon juice, somewhat floral, hints of thyme, and sweet bread. Taste follows with added layers of bitterness, and some vinous, spicy alcohol notes. The feel is soft, somewhat powdery, and drying. Another decent offering from Outer Range, but they are capable of better, and that's a good thing.

Wonderfully evenly turbid peach yellow body; very thick and creamy white head. Very faint tropical fruit aroma; even fainter citrus rind; lemony and grassy. Excellent biscuit malt base; mango and honey; grapefruit; hints of citrus rind bitterness; a touch of alcohol. Heavy body; creamy; a bit acidic with some alcohol dryness.

A fine, creamy and bitter hazy beer utilizing some classic hops in its mix.
