Orange Wheat Beer - Green Jack Brewey

My first review of an orange flavoured beer, this is an orange wheat beer with a handy list of ingredients on the label in case the contents of beer is alien to you.  I am really not sure what to expect from this one, but it is intriguing.  ABV is 4.2%

The colour is a golden, orange straw colour which is very clear.  This is bottle conditioned, so the colour gets a lot darker and cloudier as you get to the bottom of the bottle.  A white head, not at a typical 'weizen' depth or frothiness, but is nice and frothy none-the-less, and offers a little lacing

The aroma offers up a ton of pungent floral, citrus hops with orange zest also present.  Some pale malt and wheat are there at the back, and some yeast is also there.

The initial malt base gives you hints of the pale malt and wheat.  Not a complex mix, but it quickly gives way to orange and grapefruit.  Nice and sweet, with a bitter hop flavour to finish it all off.  The linger is mildy bitter & tarte, with some orange and hop flavour sticking around.  Not an overly robust array of flavours, but it is enjoyable.

Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, with a moderate level of carbonation.  Astringency is on the moderate/high side, but it is very easily drinkable and refreshing.

This is an interesting take on a wheat beer which I enjoyed.  It is almost of mix of a typical wheat beer, and a golden ale.  The malt base is slightly overpowered by the heavy citrus and orange profile, but it has a good level of bitterness to give it some balance
