16 oz can from Boise Co-op. The label says mandarin, yup, thats it. Sweet, citrusy goodness that goes down easy and is gone before you know it. Taste and aroma are mandarins, surprise, surprise. Touch of dryness.

A good looking pour. Light orange/yellow and super hazy. Good foam from the pour but not a lot of long lasting lacing.
Sweet and noticeably citrus. Mostly orange. A bit of a more tart citrus too. Grapefruit?
Quality sipper for a very sweet IPA. Not super hoppy. I do tend to lean towards a heavier beer so not my favorite, to be honest. But I knew what I was getting with the name.
Bright and light on the tongue. Very easy to drink.
This is a great pour for what it is. You don't order a "Mandarin IPA" and expect a super hoppy beer. Hot summer day. Fishing on the river. Perfect choice. Just not my favorite.

A - Hazy body, pale orange and opaque, with a white head that forms up then fades to nothing. A bit of small bubble lacing, but not much.
S - Foremost, strong citrus notes, the namesake orange primarily, but with a bit of grapefruit, too. Below, hints of dank hop and limestone suggest something deeper.
O - The reality is, the flavor is more straightforward, with a blast of tangerine acidity, pungently tart, and a mildly bitter bite on the close.
M - Not much carbonation, but plenty of acidity. The sting lingers on the tongue a bit, even though does scrub most away, actually calling you back in for another drink.
O - I like this one because it goes full tilt for the mandarin orange experience, and delivers. Bright, full, and acidic, it reads less like a juice blend, and more like straight juice. And given the name, that seems to be right on target.

Poured from a 473ml can, from The Malt Miller UK.
Very hazy, light yellow colour, half inch head that dissipates fast. Smell of orange and yeast. Lovely tart, refreshing taste, with a hit of mandarin oranges at the mid point. Good clean finish with a nice tart end.
Very refreshing on a hot afternoon.

16 oz can poured into a pint glass. Pours a hazy yellow color with about an inch of foam. Has a light citrus smell, with strong fruity flavors. Very light, easy drinking minimal hoppiness. Decent beer, I prefer their Juicier ThanThou for NEIPA style

New england-style India pale ale with tangerine
A - surprisingly a hazy yellow clear with a half inch of froth that settles to a nice ring of lace.
S - good tangerine smells moderately hoppy.
T - very fruity nice hop presence smooth body.
M - light and flavorful easy to drink.
Overall I think I like the imperial blonde better it's bursting with more fruit and peel but this one's not bad.
