Appearance: Light golden hue with a nice white head. Color and inability to see through it much resembles that of a Hefe Weizen through had very minimal lacing.
Smell: Overbearing of tangerine. Lost Coast was not very subtle about naming this one. Next time they should just label all their drinks "Beer" You could smell very little wheat and the citrus undertones overcame any indication of alcohol.
Taste: Simply put just like a tangerine. This shouldn't be in a bottle, this should be in a Hi-C carton for adults to pack in their lunch. If you are a big fan of girly drinks, this beer is for you.
Mouthfeel: Light to Medium carbonation, easy on the palate and goes down unsurprisingly smooth. Thick enough to really grasp the taste and syrupy enough so that there is no change in aftertaste.
Drinkability: Has very high easy drinkability with little resistance to any flavor that isn't tangerine. Honestly disappointed with this beer since Lost Cost makes it. Think about using this beer to make punch at parties to add a kick to it or use it for baking.

IDC what anyone else says, this beer is perfect (I might have a thing for the tangerine flavor). Color is slightly hazy and orange. Smell and taste are a perfect "tangerine" flavor like the name suggests. This beer is even better on-tap. Now down to just one case. Gonna need to get more.

On tap in a standard pint glass.
Slightly burnt orange color with a near 1f white cap. A little wave and a few spots of lacing. It’s cloudy.
Sweet tangerine aroma identical to the small ones that I peel and consume while on the golf course.
Wheat flavor opens then the tangerine jumps into the mix. Sweet and easy.
Light and summery. Sweet beginning with a drying finish. Some peel feel, too.
I find it better than its ratings. I’m enjoying this brew and would do it again. Summer fun.
