Dark Horse Brewery's Rain in Blood (blood orange pale ale) is one of my recent acquisitions, and it's music-related so surely I get double points!

Very nice citrus bite to it - and a very distinctly ORANGE flavored citrus, at that. I notice oftentimes citrus beers all have a generic lemon shandy flavor, indistinguishable from one another. Which is plenty pleasant, but a true attempt at flavor is both admirable and enjoyable. The hoppy taste is muted as well, which is always my personal preference. I'm not a fan of liquid lawn clippings.

This is not my first rodeo with this particular brewery. They're located in my home state so I've had quite a few by them and everything I've had has been fantastic. They also have some really kickass artwork on pretty much all their brews. One of these days I'll start saving cans for some functional decor purpose... until then, a picture journal works just as well.


I enjoyed reading this, Carpe - you should do beer reviews! I also dislike hoppy liquid lawn clippings.

Wish I could try this, based on your description, but I don't think it's distributed to our area (even though a local store here sells literally hundreds of craft beers with pretty cans).
