Lucy wanted us to put together a beer with that really distinct tangerine ‘tang’ up front, backed up with a juicy finish so that is exactly what we set out to do. We put together a grist of pilsner malt alongside rounding flaked oats for body. The wort was then kettle-soured overnight down to a tart but balanced 3.6pH. We hopped both in the whirlpool and dry hopped with El Dorado, a US hop with a soft citrus profile perfectly matched to our chosen fruit.
The recipe we have created includes additions of lactose, plus a touch of vanilla for sweetness. Finally, the tangerines which were pureed and added at the back end of fermentation at a rate of 80g/L.

Glowing atomic orange with fast-fleeting loose white foam; deep citrus, gentle sour + there-but-not-too-much vanilla creaminess; punchy juice up front, a gentle white vinegar tartness, some earthy, stony fruit - almost like black currants, hints of pear + melon and muted woody vanilla; crisp + clean.

Creamsicle nose promises big things. And there’s real complexity - tangerine provides juice that hops wouldn’t, chokeberry gives jammy depth, and El Dorado is so the right hop: brings all the high notes.Vanilla + lactose is very rightfully stepping to the rear. I sat on this too long: hops are fading + vanilla is not showing up either.
But this was worth the revisit and, at its peak, was Hudson Valley calibre.
