Orange Beer
Hetty Alice

Canned 6/19/25. There is no actual fruit used; the taste is all from the hops. Pour is a slightly hazy golden amber. A finger of head hastily fades away. Nose is a scrumptious fruit feast with plenty to spare for taste. A superbly blended hop bill produces a tasty combo, long finish with orange zest, mango and stone fruit which could use support from the malts. The body is ok, a little light on the carbonation. I'd say go for it when you see it. 6.2% ABV

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a hint of copper and a fine, one finger white head with great retention and solid lacing. Aroma of lightly caramel malt, citrus and piney hops, orange, grapefruit, pine and a little dankness. Flavor is lightly caramel malt, citrus and piney hops, orange, grapefruit, pine and a touch of catty dankness. Moderate citrus rind and pine bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. I like the mild caramel notes in the malt and the hop bill has a winning profile with West Coast flavor. The bitterness is a bit attenuated for me, I expected a little more lingering bitterness from these hops, especially Citra and Nelson Sauvin. Easy drinker with nice hops.
