Against the Grain Bloody Show

Aroma: “Moderate citrusy orange peel and slight pine hops aromas. The richness of the blood orange is well blended with the slight malt sweetness and the subtle hops. However, the aroma is fairly subtle overall.”

Flavor: “Fairly clean lager character throughout with a touch of malt sweetness up front that transitions into a some pithy bitterness. A subtle lingering citrus character competes with a slight hops bite.”

Overall: “The blood orange seems to get a bit lost in the mix until the finish. An interesting blend of piney and citrus hops flavors. Clean and quaffable, but a touch sweet.”
