Commercial Description:
Light and Refreshing--Like a mountain breeze through the citrus trees. Mandarin Nectar is a thirst-quenching blend of the finest malts. We've added generous amounts of Orange Zest, Coriander, and a touch of Orange Blossom Honey for exceptional Flavor. Perfect for warmer weather.

Light copper color...small but persistent head with slight lace. Aroma of malt, straw, orange. Flavorful, significant mandarin orange, lemon, straw, grains, slight sweetness, some bitter notes, light overall but decent as a summer session beer or first brew of the evening.

(22oz bottle, thanks CaptainCougar) Crystal clear amber body with small white head. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, some grapefruit, light duskiness. Taste is medium sweet, orange, some butter, somewhat dry finish. Undercarbonated light-medium body.

Thanks to Tom for this one. Clear golden body, a light white head. Aroma is very sweet and buttery. Flavor is sweet, lots of fruit, mostly strawberry. Not enjoyable.

22oz bottle, courtesy of CaptainCougar. Thanks, Tom! Pours a clear, bright golden-orange color; small white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Touch of butteriness in the aroma; some light citrus and oranges, but the buttery popcorn notes overshadow this. Medium mouthfeel: again, plenty of buttery notes, overshadowing a crisp, lightly fruity malt core; not overly diacetyl laden, but definitely present. Medium finish: toasty malts, light sugar, and some fruitiness.

This beer pours with a golden body topped by a thick creamy head with lots of lacing. The aroma is sweet and orangey with slight spicy notes and a touch of honey. The flavor is sweet with notes of honey and orange with a slight hoppiness. Light to medium bodied, smooth and dry.very drinkable.good beer.
