Tallahassee, Fl.- Liquor Loft - 22 oz bomber. Pours a murky medium orange with absolutely no head - kind of lifeless. Aroma of an artificial orange drink - not juice - but the kind you find at a McDonalds birthday party. Flavor has that same vacant artificial orange-tangerine flavor overwhelms whatever beer likeness this beverage may have. Also find some hints of a Tequila sunrise in here - the grenadine aspects of it. Starchy mouthfeel. Not the most pleasant beer drinking experience.

Bottle. Pours and orange/gold relatively clear body with a very small white head. The nose is Dimatap orange overtop malty wheat. Flavor of rotting orange and wheat, some hints of seltzer water. Has a prickly mouthfeel, which could have been good if the rest wasn’t so atrocious. I know other people who thinks this has a good orange flavor, but I couldn’t get past the Dimatap impression. Ugh, you really couldn’t get me to try this again.

Hazy dark amber with a quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of tangerine, light citrus and sweet malt. Taste of mild tangerine, grains and fruit. Comes in at the lower threshold for a drinkable fruit beer.

Appearance: Pours a clear, orange-copper body with a thin, meager head. Smell: A bottle politely mentions a "hint" of tangerine, but, damn it, I say there’s more than a hint! A lovely, tangerine laden nose is what it is, friends. Taste: A solid dose of wheat, but it’s mainly sweet, juicy tangerines. Sweetish at first, but then it gives way to more citrus and a light, vague bitterness. Citrusy all the way through to the end, babies! Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-low carbonation. Drinkability: Just when I was griping about a lack of tangerine-based beers Lost Coast saves the day.

Hazy dark amber pour with a thin head. Grains and citrus on the nose. Creamy orange flavor

(Draught) Sampled at the Great Canadian Beer Festival 2008 in Victoria, September 2008. Very weird. Very disgusting. Tastes like Five-Alive mixed with orange Crush. Strange. Aweful. 5/2/4/1/8

Foggy deep amber with a thin head. Aroma is orange, wheat, and citrus. Taste is triple sec, light honey, wheat. Pretty odd stuff.
