When I first laid eyes on the can of Orange Crusher Lager by Captain Lawrence Brewing Company, two things caught my attention: it was a lager, and it promised an orange flavor. In my mind, I envisioned a light, vibrant burst of citrusy goodness.
Based on my experience with other Captain Lawrence lagers, I expected it to be light in taste. Indeed, my first sip confirmed that this beer is subtle, with a mild bitterness and a delicate hint of orange peel and citrus. While it didn’t deliver an intense orange explosion, it offered a more nuanced and refined citrus touch, which makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a lightly flavored beer.
Orange Crusher Citrus Lager pours with a clear, pale yellow hue. The mouthfeel is light, crisp, and pleasantly carbonated. The slight citrus note keeps it interesting without being overbearing, and its lightness makes it incredibly easy to drink.
If you’re looking for a beer on the lighter side of the spectrum with just a hint of orange, Captain Lawrence Orange Crusher is the one for you. It’s a refreshing and pleasant option, especially for summer. Light and easy-going, it’s perfect for those who enjoy a subtly fruity beer. Its delicate citrus twist offers a mild yet enjoyable beer experience that’s definitely worth a try.
