Gross Orange County
Gross Orange County is a refreshing Witbier that captures the essence of bright citrus through the addition of fresh oranges during the brewing process. Pouring a pale straw with a characteristic hazy, milky appearance, it offers an inviting aromatic profile of moderate bready wheat and sweet orange zest, complemented by subtle earthy undertones. The palate follows suit with a pleasant grainy malt foundation and soft notes of honey, supporting a vibrant, sweet citrus flavor typical of the fruit. With its medium-light body and high carbonation, this ale finishes crisp and dry, balancing low bitterness with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. It is an approachable, fruit-forward interpretation of the classic Belgian wheat style.
