Orange/Green
A pale ale brewed with orange. Pilot's keywords are orangey, zesty and hoppy, and the brewery speaks of a balance between malt, hops and the fruit; an older house listing calls it a pale ale with bitter orange. Citrus peel and a clean malt base lead, with a firm bitterness behind. The beer has existed since 2016. The current edition comes in at 4.5%, while earlier ones were listed at 5.1%.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Orange/Green
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
