Lagunitas Citrus Sinensis

I kept thinking this would have tea in it because tea is Camellia sinensis, but oranges are Citrus sinensis, so tea has nothing to do with it. This is dryish and succeeds in finishing really cleanly which is a challenge with orange flavor of any kind. Especially considering the appearance, which contains  a serious amount of suspended pulp.

It's got some bitterness to it, but it's not really hoppy; the bitterness feels like it comes more from orange rind. Anyway, this is inexpensive and a winner in terms of getting orange flavor pretty bang-on. And I think they're only making it once! So go get some.

Oh and before I go, a note to you readers, although I realize there are not (m)any of you. I don't do paid endorsements for
beer or anything else (though only because I have not been offered to do so). Even when Vermont Brewers Fest admitted me after the festival sold out, I still paid for my ticket just like everyone else. And I don't even know if I wrote an article about it. (Editor's note: I did not. My record of Vermont stops mere hours before the festival. It was a great time though, and I promise to dig up my notes and photos and write up a piece on it soon.) I also don't get any ad revenue (So if you see any ads, feel free to ignore them. Don't you have AdBlock?). That makes this a labor of love, and to clarify, that refers to a love of beer, dear readers, not of you. Except Yandex.ru. I love you, Yandex.ru. (Editor's Note: Yandex.ru's search engine spider is generally the sole source of traffic to this website. So don't mess up its cobwebs.)
