Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat

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

On tap at the brewpub. The look is cloudy, dark golden, with an off white head. The smell is sweet, wheat, artifical, and citrus. The taste is wheat, sweet, orange, and tangerines.

Quality product. Nice Tangerine. Not overdone, just right. Great aroma, good depth. A good alternative to Rogue Honey Orange, and cheaper.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Holy tangerine, Batman, they aren’t kidding. The aroma on this is nothing but tangerine and some peel. The flavor on this is so citrus and tangerine that when mixed with carbonation it tastes almost exactly like diet orange soda. There is also just a hint of malt and hops, but it’s basically soda. Extremely high carbonation to boot.

Bomber- pours a cloudy dull orange with thin soapy head and little lacing. Nose- big orange juice, five alive beverage smell that overpowers any malt in the nose. Taste- stale fake orange juice. Has a very mineral dryness to it. Little flavour from the malt. A screw driver would be much more satisfying if one was looking for an orange flavoured adult beverage.

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.
