First sip is... aggressive. There are pine hops that I did not account for, and they grate quite a bit across the top of the mouth. I don't know where the oranges went in all this, but they are not found anywhere as a result of the overwhelming and somewhat off-putting pine. Clearly, a full swig is in order if I want to figure this beer out.
Tip-in is mild carbonation burn and flowers. I honestly don't know what kind of hops are in this thing. The middle doesn't see the carbonation off. Instead, it keeps strong through the whole thing. The flavor is a little more citrus and a little bit more pine through this center, but the finish is a sharp downturn of bitterness. The flavors kind of shrug and move on. Trail off is a shade of bitterness and remorse.
Bottom Line: It's an unbalanced beer that shows promise but ultimately fails.
1.75/5
