Lang Creek Mandarin Hefeweizen

Formerly brewed at Lang Creek Brewing Co.
Style: Fruit Beer
Marion, Montana USA

Not their best fruit beer, not even the best fruit Hefeweizen. But the smell is good and its worth a pint.

This is just a step away from being undrinkable. Astringent and artificial, with a hint of wheatiness in the background. Tastes commercial, I should have been suspicious when it said malt beverage with natural flavors. There is nothing natural about this. Drainpour.

Biast once again due to fakey flavoring. Surprisingly hazy. Golden color. Aroma definitely brings a pleasant orangey citrus note blended with wheat. Flavor is fairly dry with the mandarine note tucked in between the wheat. Refreshing in the summer...that’s about it.

A surprisingly cloudy yellow beer. Mandarin citrus oil aroma, like pinching the peel. Same authentic mandarin citrus flavour without being really sweet-- interesting. Finish is dry and acidic. Very refreshing. Truly a nice surprise!

in bottle. fuzzy gold color, smells like a can of freshly opened mandarin oranges. not quite as orangey as I had hoped, but very refreshing; a fine summer beer.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with riversideAK (thanks!). Poured a medium and lightly hazy yellow color with an averaged sized white head. There was something about this aroma that I just didn’t like. I wrote down lots of plastic / beach ball with some citrus and wheat sneaking through. Tastes of oranges and wheat. That nasty platic was not in the tastes. Thinner body.

In the bottle from 99 Bottles of Beer on federal Way in Seattle WA. Pours a deep cloudy yellow gold with a reasonable white head. The aroma smells a lot like the opening of one of those little cans of mandarin oranges. The flavor doesnot match the aroma very well. Only a mild orange taste. Mostly a yeasty doughy bite of the yeast. Okay, but not as good as the huckleberry from this same brewer.

very mild "wheat/orange" aroma, very very light flavor of a hint of orange, nothing strong or perfume like, very clean/clear taste...almost like nothing, mild lasting palate of wheat hefe, eh...nothing special.
