Pours a light orange yellow, 0.5" head with moderate retention and very little lacing. Nose is bread dough, orange peel, baking spices. Taste has some slightly sweet orange juice, some piney or warming hop deep in the background, lemon, black pepper. Feel is a bit slick but otherwise on the thin side, prickly carbonation.

Pours a bright hazy orange. Thick foam. Big tangerine aroma. Big juicy tangerine body. Slightly sweet with a little bitterness. Excellent flavor. Exactly what a tangerine wheat should be.

Hazy orangey-yellow, with 1 1/2 fingers of ivory head.
Smell is tangerine, coriander, black pepper, and a slight bready aroma.
Taste is a slightly dry doughy malt flavor, a hint of banana, a bit of fresh tangerine tang, finishing with a bite of the coriander + pepper present in the aroma. Some slight lingering pepper heat and bitterness after finish.
Feel is light-medium, a bit less pillowy than a prototypical wit. Light, very,very fine carbonation bite towards finish, and beyond.
Overall, pleasant and and enjoyable. Not really sure if the tangerine actually adds anything. It might even detract. The black pepper flavor could stand to be a little less, & the carbonation a little more. That said, I like it, and am glad to have tried it. :)

Brewer notes: Belgian Style Witbier brewed with Tangerine Puree
Appearance is a very pretty golden yellow that is fairly opaque.
Has a nice pillowy 2 inch head, that quickly fads to a thin film. Aromas of fresh tangerines,oranges and bready yeast. The mouthfeel is below medium and very lightly carbonated, wish it had more carbonation.
The taste is tart tangerines (not overpowering), bananas, bready yeast and subtle spices. Flavors all stay in sync thru the finish which has a touch of bitterness to it.
Nice simple refreshing Witbier for a warm summer evening, but wish it had a little more tang to it.
