Orange Bliss

◎ Appearance

Orange Bliss presents a pale golden hue with bright clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The carbonation is lively and well-integrated, creating a visually effervescent presentation that invites the nose.

◌ Aroma

The nose is immediately dominated by fresh orange zest and candied citrus notes, layered beneath which lies a subtle wheaten grainess and gentle spice from sixteen months in Turkish orange liquor barrels. Yeast esters contribute a faint stone-fruit character and a whisper of herbal hop complexity, while the aromatic profile remains clean and inviting rather than cloying.

◐ Taste

On the palate, orange and citrus flavors dominate with bright acidity and a pleasant sweetness that never overwhelms. The wheat and oat malt provide a soft, rounded foundation with a subtle peppery finish from the yeast character, while the mild bitterness (28 IBU) sits far back, allowing the fruit and grain to remain in the foreground. The overall impression is refreshing and balanced, with layers that develop gradually across the mid-palate.

◑ Finish

The finish transitions from sweet to increasingly dry, with lingering orange peel bitterness and a subtle peppery warmth that fades gracefully. A crisp, clean aftertaste leaves the palate refreshed, inviting another sip.
