This one pours a light pale orange color, with a small head, and a little bit of lacing.
This one smells like sour funky oranges, herbal funk, fermented honey, oak and wine.
This one works really well- the orange and honey add a little bit of sweetness to a very funky base. It's herbal and slightly fruity. There's definitely some killer oak character, and a slight bit of white wine.
This is light bodied, and fairly clean despite the funk. It's really drinkable.
This whole series is exceptionally fun.

Vigorous pour yields a 1/4 inch white head over a pink-orange body with no lacing as head dissipates down to a thin ring. Wonderful nose of orange and oak. Flavors follow aromas real well with the honey coming forward to sweeten the tartness of the orange. Good feel for the style and overall a delicious offering from Foam. Cheers!

Wow...amazing beer! Purchased 18 months ago and aged. Poured into a teku, a slightly hazy woody orange color with a thin white head that dissipates to just a ring. Awesome aromas of oak, straw, and oranges. Taste is tart with hints of cara cara oranges, oak, honey and slight brett. Mouth is medium bodied and dry, with just a little carbonation. Overall, a great sour fruit beer.

Not sure why this is listed as retired? I just bought it less than a month ago. Anyway....
Beautiful orange look and many citrus flavors (this the name). Sweet. Hint of oak. Great beer!

golden orange with a ruby tinge. beautifully creamy bright white head, some nice lacing. aromas and flavors of orange tang, lactic tartness, slightly acidic, funky, gassy, tart apples, lemon, hint of oak. very very clean. I usually not that into sours but this was just moderately tart with some beautiful citric and funky barrel notes, awesome stuff!
