Huge white head which recedes rapidly and leaves no lace. White haze to the lighter gold color.

Mildly tart to the nose. There's the essence of blood oranges. No sweetness at all.

Rather bland flavor initially. It's a step up from a macro lager but the real flavoring, though mild, come from the swallow. The aforementioned blood orange shows up. Highly carbonated as indicated in the large head, not enough body to compensate. Short, faintly like sours cherry aftertaste.

Canned 6/30/20, this was one I was planning to share with rudzud.

Pours a large frothy fizzy head with med-low retention, no real lacing, very hazy apricot-orange color

Nose brings lots of doughy creamy base malt, raw bread dough, fair amount of citrus, juicy blood orange and a little citrus rind, some creamy wheat

Taste starts with more of the raw bread dough, creamy wheat, then back into citrus, not overwhelming but quite a bit of the blood orange and some orange zest notes, a little candy orange cereal notes, touch of bitterness, finishes a tad dry

Mouth is med bod and quite creamy, tons of foamy carb

Overall not bad, def not my fav beer from them but something way out of their normal style, still a good summer beer, wish I could have shared it with rudzud as I think he would have really liked it.
