Tangerine Wheat
Lost Coast Brewery and Cafe

Appearance: Light golden hue with a nice white head. Color and inability to see through it much resembles that of a Hefe Weizen through had very minimal lacing.

Smell: Overbearing of tangerine. Lost Coast was not very subtle about naming this one. Next time they should just label all their drinks "Beer" You could smell very little wheat and the citrus undertones overcame any indication of alcohol.

Taste: Simply put just like a tangerine. This shouldn't be in a bottle, this should be in a Hi-C carton for adults to pack in their lunch. If you are a big fan of girly drinks, this beer is for you.

Mouthfeel: Light to Medium carbonation, easy on the palate and goes down unsurprisingly smooth. Thick enough to really grasp the taste and syrupy enough so that there is no change in aftertaste.

Drinkability: Has very high easy drinkability with little resistance to any flavor that isn't tangerine. Honestly disappointed with this beer since Lost Cost makes it. Think about using this beer to make punch at parties to add a kick to it or use it for baking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clear, orange color. Big, white head. Malt and tangerine are in the aroma. Same notes with a moderately sweet, juicy taste. A bit artificial, but not bad.

 

 

 

 

 

Look: Pours a clear orange and quickly, a fluffy white head forms and puckers away to a pillow, leaving spotty lacing behind

Aroma: Tangerine fruit and rind, light wheat malt, orange juice, and fruity notes. This smells straight up like a tangerine bomb

Taste: Opens up with a light floral note before the tangerine party ensues with loads of fruit, juice, and rind all in play. Wheat malt sneaks a peek in the middle and blends nicely before the tangerine train returns to close it out

Mouthfeel: Light but full, clean, spritzy carbonation and on the higher side, and clean and soft on the finish

Overall: I dig it. I’m admittedly not a fruit-in-beer guy but wanted to revisit and review this because I hadn’t had it in years, since first trying these folks’ offerings. A solid and refreshing American Wheat Ale with a nice fruit presence that doesn’t dominate nor taste artificial. Tasty stuff and worth looking into if fruited wheats are your thing

 

IDC what anyone else says, this beer is perfect (I might have a thing for the tangerine flavor). Color is slightly hazy and orange. Smell and taste are a perfect "tangerine" flavor like the name suggests. This beer is even better on-tap. Now down to just one case. Gonna need to get more.

Very light, great tangerine undertone.
