Tangerine Riot
Great Divide Brewing Co.

 

Pours a hazed gold with 2 fingers of ivory colored head, some floaties. Above average head retention & lacing, floaties get a .25-point deduction

S: Cereal notes, some citrus

T: Tangerine, a little grassyness, some woody hops & dryness up front. More dryness, some tangerine, a little lime & leafy hops once warmed up. Finishes a little dry, grapefruit & porridge notes in the finish

MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, good balance, a little gritty

No bad, this is a place holder review. I am sure it's better a year fresher, will only pull the trigger I can ascertain it's freshness. Still plenty drinkable

 

This is tangerine, no doubt about it. I would have preferred a bit more balance but it's basically like drinking a glass of juice with a dry finish. It did feel like it had a higher ABV than what it says on the can, which I've noticed on several beers of this style. Great if you love tangerines though.

355 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6.4%. Slightly hazy pale golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of tangerine. Citric flavour, notes of tangerine and some grapefruit. Not too sweet, refreshing.

 

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a slightly hazy golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of tangerines. Taste is tangerines, malts, mild bitterness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer.

 

 

12oz can. Poured out a slightly cloudy, golden orange color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy trails of lace. It smelled of sweet tangerine, caramel and some strong pine notes. Sweet tangerine taste with caramel and a mild bitterness.

 

 

Pours a hazy golden yellow with a finger of foamy head that slowly settles to a thin cap with some lacing. Aroma of tangerine and citrus. Taste follows nose.

Poured from a can. Yellowish and hazy in color with a white head. Smells of malt, fruit, mainly tangerine and hops. Flavor follows the smell juicy tangerine well balanced with hops and malt. Smooth and refreshing. Nice

Hazy light orange color with a decent white head and some nice lacing.
The aroma is citrus, honey and light caramel malt. The taste is lightly sweet tangerine, hints of honey and caramel. The finish dries out with some citrus zest and herbal hops.
The body is medium, good level of carbonation, smooth and very drinkable, very nice.
Altogether, this is a tasty and refreshing brew, very nice for a hot day or a backyard cook out.
