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.

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.
