Blood Orange Ale Review
When I first tried Brew By Numbers’ Blood Orange Ale, I was immediately drawn in by its vibrant amber pour that suggested a refreshing experience. The aroma was intoxicating, with a wholesome mix of sweet blood orange and a hint of malt. As I took my first sip, the flavor burst forth with a lively citrus profile, perfectly balancing the malt base. The tangy orange notes danced on my palate, making it a joyfully refreshing drink, especially on a warm day.
What sets this ale apart is its ability to maintain a strong flavor profile while being a low-alcohol option. At just 0.5% ABV, it’s a great choice for those who want to enjoy a beer-like experience without the effects of alcohol. I appreciated how Brew By Numbers has crafted this drink to cater to both the taste and the health-conscious drinker, as it is also vegan-friendly.
While I loved the blood orange flavor, I did find that the sweetness could be a touch overwhelming at times, especially towards the end of the sip. However, this didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the ale. The carbonation level was just right, providing a nice effervescence that kept the drink lively and engaging throughout.
Overall, Brew By Numbers has successfully created a delightful Blood Orange Ale that stands out in the alcohol-free beer category. It’s perfect for pairing with light snacks or simply enjoying on its own. I found myself reaching for another can, eager to relive that refreshing citrus hit.
