Orin

◎ Appearance

Orin presents a pale golden hue with exceptional clarity, characteristic of its modest 4 SRM rating. The head forms modestly and dissipates with moderate persistence, leaving delicate lacing that clings to the glass. The body shows light carbonation appropriate to its barrel-aged character.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with oak-forward aromatics from extended barrel contact, followed by dark stone fruit and subtle leather notes. Beneath lies a warming brandy and bourbon alcohol presence, complemented by hints of toffee and brown sugar that suggest a complex malt bill. The overall bouquet is measured and sophisticated, without aggressive heat.

◐ Taste

Entry reveals immediate toffee and caramel richness, building toward pronounced dark fruit character across the mid-palate. The oak integration is seamless, supported by the 13.2% ABV which manifests as smooth brandy warmth rather than sharp alcohol. Low IBU (22) allows the sweet, malty foundation to dominate, while brown sugar and apple cola notes provide subtle complexity without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish extends gracefully, with lingering toffee and dark fruit notes fading slowly into warming alcohol. A clean, slightly drying character emerges as the palate clears, leaving behind sweet malt memory without cloying residue.
