Orlando Brewing Certified Organic Beer Sampler at the Wave

Grabbed a quick lunch at the Wave in May and noticed that they had a beer sampler of 3 different 5oz samples of Orlando Brewing Organic Beer.  Who am I to argue with trying 3 beers instead of 1?

The presentation was definitely nice, as seen in the photo.  Underneath each glass was a brief description of the beer above so you can keep track of what you're trying.  I hate to say it but none of them were extremely memorable but I enjoyed them all!

 



From left to right....

Blonde Ale: The local favorite is a light bodied blonde ale with a subtle malt sweetness and a crisp, dry finish

Might be a local favorite but I barely remember it!  I remember thinking it was slightly watery but that was also b/c I was comparing it to the pale and brown ales next to it.  I know I didn't hate it.

 

Pale Ale: An all American style amber gold pale ale that blends caramel malt flavor and zesty citrus-toned Cascade hops for the perfect balance

I think this one was my favorite.  It was slightly fruity and malty....and not hoppy at all.

 

Brown Ale: Hop sharpness dominates the malty richness. The malt plays a supporting role with some toasty and caramel malt character

Second favorite of the bunch, slightly nutty and smooth.

 

I know I've seen Orlando Brewing on tap at a few other bars on property (Raglan Road maybe?) so give them a try if you see them!
