This beer has a huge earthy and citrusy hop aroma with a hint of crackery malt behind, which leads into a very pleasant blend of earthy hops and crackery malt lingering into a crisp bitterness in the finish. The fermentation esters give hints of orange and pear throughout. This is a great, easy-drinking beer beer with a firm bitterness for the IPA lover.

The Orange Curtain
Description
The Orange Curtain is Barley Forge’s India Pale Ale. Focusing on “old school” hop flavor over hop bitterness, our IPA features Warrior, Centennial and Cascade hops against a nicely rounded malt backbone that provides a medium bodied accompaniment. This combination has citrus notes worth of the name, which is a nickname for Orange County, California where the brewery is located. This beer pairs well with spicy Thai or Vietnamese food, burgers, or oily, full-flavored fish such as salmon.
