Hop Wtr Hop Wtr Blood Orange

“Aroma presents a sweet rainbow bubblegum character. Mouthfeel is light, crisp, and well-carbonated. Flavor is lighter than the aroma, but still has subtle candy-like hints. A mineral note and a very high carbonation keep this from being cloying.”

“Lemon and lime Skittles, a refreshing medley of lemon and lime essences. The aroma is clean and fresh. It has great carbonation and effervescence. Its citrus is light and pleasantly crisp. A soft acidic tartness lingers.”

__Aroma:__ “Citrus with a deeper character. Orange, orange zest, orange juice. There’s an underlying red fruit/raspberry/ strawberry thing going on. Is the aroma supported by some fruity hops additions? Blood orange, lemon, and grapefruit and some slight hops notes.” __Flavor:__ “Great blood-orange flesh and zest notes throughout, but the base beer is a flash of carbonation that quickly fades to almost nothing on your palate. Finishes thin and slightly bitter with a carbonic bite. The lingering bitterness is not unpleasant. There’s a marmalade character to the flavor.” __Overall:__ “The orange is present but not overpowering. The zest and juice character that comes through is likeable, but it needs more residual sweetness to support the orange presence. A bit of pithy bitterness from the zest borders on too much. Nice beer overall.”
