Brew Free! Or Die Blood Orange IPA

◎ Appearance

Bright golden-amber hue with excellent clarity and fine carbonation visible throughout. A creamy white head forms on the pour with good initial retention and leaves delicate lacing on the glass as it settles.

◌ Aroma

Blood orange and citrus notes dominate the nose, bright and inviting. Floral and piney hop character emerges beneath the fruit, with subtle resinous undertones and a clean malt backbone that doesn't overpower the fresh citrus expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean with immediate citrus impact from both the blood orange and dry hop character. Mid-palate develops a balanced hop presence—Cascade and Amarillo contribute bright, zesty notes while Centennial adds subtle resin and a moderate bitterness that doesn't overwhelm. The finish is dry with lingering citrus and a gentle piney aftertaste.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with fading citrus notes and a clean, resinous hop dryness. Aftertaste remains refreshing without any harsh edges.
