Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat

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

The fruit beer has a great tangerine smell and delicious orange flavor. It is slightly cloudy, like a wheat beer, but amber in color. It gets even better as the temp. goes up.

Pours hazy amber with a small white head. the aroma has tangerines in full effect and not much of anything else - juicy, tart and citrusy. Medium crisp body with some gentle sharp carbonation. The taste has crisp wheat, some spiciness, a touch of mineral notes and the tangerine is much more in the background than it was on the aroma. The finish is very short lasting. Decent beer.

US trip Aug/Sept 2009 - Notes indicate this one was a weird tasting fruity wheat beer - orangey with some shortness. Not unpleasant, but weird

Bottle. WOW the nose is unexpectedly full of tangerine ("hint" my ass), half juicy, half powdered. Light wheat as well. Cloudy yellow-orange with a sudsy, metallic beige head. Taste is more of the same, lots of tangerine but with more wheat and a dulled bready note. Zesty, tart medium body. Better than expected, and spectacularly fruity (in the Way of the Juicy Juice), definitely worth a try.

Bomber poured a clear orange amber with a lingering ring of ivory foam. Aromas of tangerine, wheat and a hint of honey. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of wheat, light tangerine and light honey with a crisp dry tangerine finish. A great summer beer!

Shared 12 oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing Co. and poured to a hi-ball sampler glass. The color was a light orange/straw, and the head was some off white foam that fell off very quickly to a ring and some light film with not much noticable lacing. The aroma was pleasant tangerine, sweetness, and some light grain. The flavor was light, with less intensity than the nose. Refreshing brew, but came off rather watery.

650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a cloudy orange color with a very small fizzy white head that soon dissipates to zilch.. The aroma is rich with tangerines and oranges that have sort of a Tang like quality. The flavor was a bit disappointing, sort of like a watered down Orange Crush with some light character. The mouth-feel was thin and watery, with light carbonation. The finish was short and dry with a bit of lingering orange peel. Overall Impression? This needs more zing.

Pours a fading off-white head with a slightly hazy, deep golden with some amber body. Smells of tangerine. Flavor is tangerine and malt. Finish is thin and tangerine. Tastes a little fake.
