Orange Peel Ale

Orange Peel Ale

Great Lakes Brewery, Toronto, Ontario, Canada - Novelty Ale
Saturday 31 March 2012 – 5.3%Alc./Vol.    79 / 100
Initial Thoughts
Great big brown glass bottle with a painted label. Medium light amber brew with a  decent head. Nice, light, orangey-citrusy smell... 
First Sip
Not as fruity as you might expect, but good. Not as complex as some other offerings from Great Lakes Brewery.
Halfway Through
Orange Peel Ale doesn’t taste terribly sweet. It is a little bit sweet but has a nice smooth feel in the mouth, not quite syrupy but sort of syrupish... Good hop presence.
Bottoms Up
Overall not bad. Not as show-stopping as Pumpkin Ale from Great Lakes Brewery, but a really decent beer nonetheless.
