Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat

Brewed by Lost Coast Brewery & Cafe
Style: Fruit Beer
Eureka, California USA

This company has given me some good reason to reach for their brews in the past. This beer may have single-handedly changed that all for me. The lasting impression is rather interesting. To begin the aroma is that of tangerine-orange adjunct (syrup) nothing else, gives the impression your going to have a really similar experience taste-wise. The appearance is an awful model, looking exactly like orange tang. The color is hazy orange with absolutely no head, never, not one bit. The taste is very unusual as well. It’s not at all like beer, more like, and you really have to imagine this... Picture you got a Slice orange soda from a fountain, and the syrup has been in need of a change for a long time. It’s like that but with a lot of orange peel as well. The palate is thin on body, thin on texture, extremely high in carbonation, and no applicable finish to speak of. The beautiful artwork could not save this beer.

Bottle 1pt.6fl.oz.
Clear light to medium orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is moderate to heavy orange, mandarin, tangerine. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average to long duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20100110]

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is deffinatly tangerine but way artificial. Flavor is again lots of citrus but not very clean tasting. It was like they took a weak wheat beer and added tangerine kool-aid. I would have expected better from this brewer.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden color. The nose is all fruit and the tangerine is intense. Smells like I cut open a fresh tangerine. Mouth feel is kind of thin for being a wheat. Flavors are full of citrus, tangerine, sweetness kicking in as well and finishes on the drier side. Not a bad beer but not my thing.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Del Mission Liquor, 1/7/10

Aroma: The nose is almost completely tangerine, like smelling OJ
Appearance: It pours an orange color with a white head
Flavor: The taste is sugary, heavy sweet with a medium bitter finish
Palate: Has a decent enough mouthfeel and a dry finish
Overall Impression: Too sweet for my taste, but not awful. On first opening the bottle I had to check and make sure I bought a beer not a fizzy sunny delight. Man that is a lot of fruit. Otherwise, this beer is just alright. Nothing special, too sweet, but alright.
