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.

Draft… RBSG’08… Clear golden ale with orange highlights and a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Restrained nose of perfumy orange blossoms and cereal grains. Medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and bristly carbonation. The flavor is perfectly balanced, but bland and boring. Crisp, mostly clean finish.

Clear light amber with a tight head. Faint fruity aroma with tart wheat. Light/medium body. Flavor is lightly sweet tart wheat grain with a decent citrusy mandarin essence. Nice on a hot day.

(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.
