Had on tap. Murky orange body with a short lived white bubble cap. Sour tang nose, orange is a bit medicinal. Taste has hints of funk and oak, but mostly overpowers by the tang shellac on the palate, herbal and medicinal notes on the end are confusing. Feel is sour and slightly acidic, but again mostly impacted by the tang. Not for me

Hazy Tang orange with a sparse, bubbly film, this definitely has that Tang orange flavor, but it's actually got a little funk to it too, like an herbal barnyard in the background. Still, it's super sweet, like an American kids drink is prone to be, with a little effervescence, light body, and a sticky yet watery finish.
I'm surprised Funk Factory did something like this. It's fun, but seemingly off-brand for them. Figured they'd put the UA name on it but guess not!

It's completely overpowered by the Tang. I would expect that this would be a lot better if it was toned down enough that you could actually get some flavor from the base beer. However, if you're looking for alcoholic Tang it probably doesn't get much better than this. Maybe it'd be a good mimosa substitute at brunch if that's your thing.

On draft at the brewery. Pours an opaque bright orange golden color with fizzy white head the dissipates quickly. Smells like Tang, orange citrus on the nose; follows onto the palate. Light bodied. Finishes with more Tang and some funk.

On tap at Funk Factory. Served in a snifter glass. Pours a hazy lighter yellow body, one finger white head, short retention and no lacing. Smell is... artificial Tang. That's all I get from it. I'm already not quite sold at that point, and I find it fairly off-putting, actually. Flavour is similar, it basically tastes like Tang. I'm fine with it, not terrible but it doesn't seem to taste like beer at this point. I wonder if it would do well with a distinctly smaller addition of Tang, because the base Meerts is completely covered up, aside from perhaps a little bit of acidity. Mouthfeel is medium-lighter bodied, good carbonation otherwise.
