Orlio Common Ale

Style: Common Ale
Appearance: Deep gold, crystal clear, fizzy during pour, white colored head that subsided in a few minutes, heavy lacings
Aroma: Floral, citrus
Mouthfeel: Light
Taste: Hoppy, slightly sweet, hop aftertaste
Verdict: A decent ale
Comments: Organic or not, this is a decent beer that is a little unusual. It may be a California Common Ale but the website does not indicate in what subtype of ale the brewer would classify the brew. It is similar in taste to Magic Hat's hI.P.A. but toned down a good bit.

Notes: Orlio seems to be another brand of beers from Magic Hat, similar to how Otter Creek also produces the Wolaver's brand of organic beers. It's brewed at the Magic Hat brewery in South Burlington, it uses the same PR person, and like Magic Hat it has an annoying Flash-based website, which as of this writing is rather lame and incomplete. From poking around on the web I can't tell for sure if it is owned by the same people, but it is quacking enough to make that assumption.
