My favorite tangelo tree has so many blooms this spring it looks like snow. I can actually smell the tree inside with the window closed.
I walked out on the patio yesterday and the sound of the bees really freaked me out - sounded like I was near a hive, there were hundreds of them. I made a video of it, you'll have to turn up the volume to hear the bees:

Nice tree!
I could actually smell it in my living room from watching the video! Laughing

It must be calming to sit on the chair in front of that tangelo and watch the bees do their job, especially this time of year! Just sit back and relax, incredible!

Especially when the chair is in the pool. Laughing

Nice tree.

I didn't mean that chair... LOL Laughing

But it does look like it is inside the pool! Laughing

But it may become handy even at this time of the year particularly if you're from Arizona... and your favorite beer is sitting, in the pool, next to you... Laughing

Marc, there's another one right in front of the tree... Very Happy

Hmmm, maybe some Orange Blossom Amber would be appropriate?

I didn't know such a beer exists! Smile

Funny how some threads end up in beer threads! Laughing

This is my favourite right now, but has nothing to do with citrus... Rolling Eyes

I simply knew Laaz was going to come out with his favorite beer label! Razz

MarcV · Posted: Sun 31 Mar, 2013 6:27 pm

So... what does it taste like? Is there a particular citrus taste present?

Gotta love the beer! I have never seen it before and I am always looking for citrus beers on my many trips to the US.

Cheers!

Greg, Orange Blossom Amber is brewed in (of all places) Inyokern, CA which is in the desert on the east side of the Sierra Nevada. This is near my wife's folks place in Ridgecrest. I often purchase this beer when we are visiting. It has a strong citrus flavor and I really like it. Others in the family don't seem to like it as much, and for them the citrus beer of choice is Bud Light Lime Very Happy
