Bottle: Light citrus colored pour with a large white head and plenty of bubbles. Aroma is bright and fruity. Clearly a heavy citrus presence. Taste is citrus and tangerine filled with a bit of seltzer and some light grassey bits. Small evidence of wheat in the tail.

Sep 26, 2008 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.

Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours and orange/gold relatively clear body with a very small white head. The nose if 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 could get past the Diamatap impression. Ugh, you really couldn’t get me to try this again.

Sep 20, 2008 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.

Sep 19, 2008 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.
