Balashi Brewery Launches Magic Orange
Oranjestad, Aruba – On Wednesday, February 9, 2022, the much-anticipated launch of the newest flavored beer in the Magic family.
This beer was introduced during a reception held at the VIP lounge at Gloria Theatres. Magic Orange will be available in March in selected supermarkets, bars, and restaurants in 7.4-ounce bottles, and later this summer on draft and in cans.
The beer is a hazy Aruban Pale Ale (alcohol/volume 5%), and the second beer added to the Magic family. This refreshing honey-colored brew teases the nose with the crisp zest of bright citrus aromas tempered over whiffs of malt coming through on the head. The hazy brew is smooth and easy-drinking, delivering a lively balance of tartness and light, juicy-orange sweetness with just enough hops on the tongue to add some depth to the finish.
Balashi Brewery launched the first Magic-branded beer, Magic Mango, in 2020. Originally conceived as a limited special edition brew, the popularity of the beer demanded a permanent place in Balashi’s profile of beers that includes the original Balashi Beer and the beach-time favorite, Chill. “Aruba is making a name as a foodie’s paradise, and with the exploration of cuisine comes the exploration of uniquely crafted, local beverages…the Magic family of beers will continue to grow with new fruity editions, matching the moment and the consumer’s desire for authentic, locally crafted brews to discover,” shares Warren Stanley, Managing Director of Balashi Brewery.
The initial batch of the Magic Orange brew is 4,200 cases and is being offered at a special price
*Balashi is the only brewer in Aruba to offer incentivized recycling, with a long-term goal to contribute to Aruba’s overall sustainability efforts, while at the same time creating environmental awareness and rewarding consumers and businesses for also participating in recycling to reduce waste and keep the island clean and beautiful for generations to come.
