Team Distribution The Way Of The Road Tangerine White IPA
Deep River Brewing Co.

 

A: Pours a very lightly hazy medium golden honey in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation and faint golden yellow + apricot highlights. The beer has a finger tall foamy light beige head that reduces to a couple of small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of citrus/tangerine followed by light to moderate aromas of wheat malts, Belgian yeast, and light citrus/grapefruit pith hops.

T: Upfront there is a light to moderate flavor of wheat malts and pale malts with a moderate flavor of slightly spicy Belgian yeast. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of citrus/tangerine. Finally there is a light flavors of citrus/grapefruit pith and pine hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which does not linger for long.

M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Hints of dryness in the finish.

O: The addition of tangerine really adds to my enjoyment of a Belgian IPA (probably my least favorite of the different IPA styles because I feel the yeast generally is too dominant). Easy to drink and enjoyable. I could easily have a couple of these.

Slightly hazy gold with a white head that left very little lacing. Huge tangerine blast when you smell this one. There is also some malty sweetness and some pine in the nose. The beer tastes sweet up front with a lot of tangerine and finished clean with a pith and pine bitterness. I am sorry this is an anniversary beer as it is one of the best I have had from Deep River.
