Hangar 24 Orange Wheat

Posted on November 6, 2014 by Cam Ireland

Redlands, CA is home to Hangar 24 Craft Brewery. A great venue and a cool vibe. The brewery is located at the Redlands Airport inside a converted hangar…hangar 24. They have 20+ beers on tap. A huge outside beer garden to enjoy your flight alfresco.

Hangar 24 is best known for their Orange Wheat. 100% locally grown oranges are used throughout the entire brewing process. To further support local growers Hangar 24 brews a Local Fields Series of beers that include California grown fruit and vegetables. Here are a few examples: Vinaceous-red wine grapes from Temecula, Polycot-apricots from Southern California’s High Desert and Gourdgeous-California pumpkins.

Appearance:
It pours a slightly cloudy yellow-orange color with a tall long-lasting white head.

Aroma:
First appearance is a wheaty maltiness that is soon followed by a light citrus note and then a warm spiciness.

Flavor:
First sip delivers a sweet wheat maltiness that is immediately followed up by citrus notes and finally a slight hop bitterness. As the beer warms up I get a hint of clove flavor.

Finish:
This Orange Wheat has a very well-balanced, lingering hop bitterness that also moves to a tart citrus tingle on your tongue for a cool, complex dryness.

At 4.6% abv and an only slightly bitter 17 IBUs, Orange Wheat is a refreshing wheat beer that is perfect for a summer session ale, or NOW! This wheat and citrus beer will pair well with sushi (not too much wasabi) or a nice fresh green salad with tangerine slices.

Cheers!

Stone Brewing is located in Escondido, California and is known for hugely hoppy and high octane, malt-rich beers. Stone Brewing Co. was founded in 1996 in San Marcos, CA. The Double Bastard this cap sealed uses huge amounts of hops, but the type of hops used is not released. The necklace shown here was previously crimped on a bottle of Double Bastard Ale. The beer is orange-light brown in color and has a hoppy and malty nose. A mouth full of hop flavor and a rich malt and bitter/dry and finish. The hop types and IBU\'s are \"Classified\" according to Stone Brewing, but the alcohol is plentiful at 11% abv! This artisan piece was handmade using that recycled bottle cap. The cap was domed and filled with 2-row malted barley and caramel malt similar to that malt commonly used in similar beer styles. The malt is set in resin and helps add weight. This is a must have item for beer enthusiasts, craftbeer enthusiasts, Stone Brewing fans, IPA, DIPA fanatics, San Diego beer lovers or anybody that enjoys truly unique, handmade jewelry. Each piece is different as each cap has been treated differently through their travels to my beer fridge. Additionally, each cap reacts differently to the doming process. Cracks and chips may result naturally and add to the unique, unduplicated, rustic character of the finished product. The cap artwork represents the Stone gargoyle logo.

The necklace shown here was previously crimped on the bottle of Blue Moon Belgian White. Blue moon uses 2 row barley, white wheat and oats in their grain bill.

The specific gravity is 1.053, IBUs-9 and weighs in at a moderate 5.4% abv. The aroma is malty with a bit of orange. The flavor has a sweet start with a bit of spicy orange flavor and a nicely balanced finish from the hops. The addition of oats provide a smooth, creamy mouthfeel.
