From a 12oz bottle purchased at the brewery:
Slight hiss and a bit of smoke upon opening the bottle. This is a somewhat murky pouring beer. Golden in color. There's not a lot of carbonation in this beer. The head that forms is white in color, but quite minimal - less than one finger. The head doesn't last long at all and there's no lacing on the glass.
The nose hits as I poured this beer. I was getting a good orange aroma. Up close I get a lot of orange. I also get a lot of ginger in this beer. The aromas work well together.
Taste - The flavor is much more ginger than the nose let on. Ginger can be a harsh and strong flavor, but in this beer it's balanced out by the orange. The ginger flavor also really lingers in my throat.
Light and crisp bodied. For the ABV it feels about light.
This is a late fall release, but this beer would be a great beer on a hot summer day. It's quite refreshing.

Picked this up as part of a mixed six pack, the label depicts a tiger and giant orange.
Poured into a TBS can glass. Orange body with bright clarity, initial finger of foam when poured, which settled quickly to a bubbly ring around the edges and patchy skim in the center.
Very floral and spicy nose, dried orange peel, ginger, and coriander, perfumy and fragrant.
Floral and slightly bitter up front, coriander, ginger, and dried orange peel. Dry aftertaste, lingering earthy spice notes. Clean an dry, the simple base beer is merely a delivery vehicle for the adjuncts, but overall it's well blended.
I hope they serve this beer at Le Tigre Lounge in Madison, it would fit right in.

Blazing Orange pours a a clear light see through color, with almost no head. The aroma is quite complex, good hints of orange, strong raw ginger, and hints of pepper. The taste has just the slightness malt undertones, lots of orange and ginger flavors, that ends with just a hint of pepper. Easy to drink, and not watery. Overall a very interesting funky beer.
