How in the name of sweet baby St Arnold do you get this color?
Kind of looks like orange soda. No idea how you get that color though.

I brewed an IPA once with Vienna + Oats, and over an oz/gal dry hops. Came out pretty orange depending on the light and hazy. Look like the suns hitting it perfect.
HDR + some weird photoshop tweaks. Everyone wants their photography to look like a surrealist nightmare these days.
You have to brew it IN vermont. Only way.
Brew it hazy and over-saturate slightly?
Haze, lighting, and a touch of aromatic malt should do it.
Carastan and Photoshop?
C40 + flaked wheat + Photoshop tweaking.
I brewed the one on the right. I bet if I’d shot this pic outdoors and tweaked it, it would look the same.
I’ve done a couple beers with Golden Naked Oats that have a similar color.
Is there a benefit to mash oversaturation or should it only be done post-fermentation?
Only in the darkroom (what’s that?!)
So if I understand you folks correctly the method to obtain this hazy orange color consists of two steps:
- a combination of something like c40 and some unmalted non-barley.
- photoshopping.
Lots of yeast in suspension will also reflect the flash.
Carastan or C40 (I tend to use Carastan because it’s slightly lighter ~37L) will give you a pretty close to orange hue. Hop or yeast matter in suspension is typically where the haze comes from, but other proteins could do it too. Photoshop just helps enhance the lighting effects.
In searching the original photo and carefully looking over the photograph, without brewing technique or recipes being known or analyzed, this was photo shopped or altered with another app. the saturation and contrast were adjusted as well as the depth of field as it is quite exaggerated and off centered, both normally done post processing. It is a great picture though, albeit doctored a bit to clean it up.
It’s amazing how well you can make something look with a free app or expensive software:)
Here is a recipe that will get you that color. The main reason it looks so bright like that is the setting sun coming at the glass cross ways. Heavy dry hopping and late hopping. Protein and some yeast in suspension. It can be done for sure though… as both of these are beers I brewed. Same beer except the one slightly darker is 2-3% caramel 40 and the one slightly lighter is 2-3% caramel 20. Both used conan yeast. Both bittered with .75 ounces of warrior and then 2x3oz. of citra at flameout and in a hopstand. 2x3oz. citra in 2 different dry hop additions.
41% Rahr 2 Row
41% Golden Promise (or Maris Otter)
8% Flaked Oats
4% Flaked Barley
2% Flaked Wheat
2.5% Caramel 20 OR 2.5% Caramel 40
*If anyone is trying to make something like this an wants exact recipe I used, water profile, etc… I would be happy to e-mail it to you from my iBrewMaster app. It has become my favorite APA/IPA (5.5%abv). Citra Hop Explosion. Soft, full mouthfeel.
No photoshop. No Flash. Just pour, set in sun, take picture with iPad.
Is anyone else wondering how skunky those beers were after their photo op?
HA… I made it fast. It was for “demonstration purposes” and I made sure to take the picture really quick so they were ok:)
My wife even got on my case…“Why do you always tell me to take my beer out of the sun and now you are putting it in the sun on purpose?” :o
I am normally a psycho for not setting my beer in the sun when we are outside - especially hoppy beers.
