Tangerine American Wheat
Beaver Island Brewing Co.

 

 

 

This beer pours a pale yellow with a solid head. The aroma leads with a solid hit of orange peel and lemon flesh, with lots of crackery malts, coriander, white pepper, and white bread. The flavor Is a bit less assertive, with a mild orange juice start, followed by lots of malt cracker and mild toast notes, and a little but of lemon flesh, coriander, and black pepper on the finish. The mouthfeel is very light with moderate fizzy carbonation. Overall the aroma is bright and very fun, but the flavor a bit more bland. There is nothing unpleasant, but it just seems to promise more than it can deliver.

No shortage of tangerine notes to this. A big tangerine aroma and the flavor follows a similar path. A cream of wheat maltiness combines with the tangerine to give off almost a tangerine dreamsickle like impression.

Overall an interesting flavored whet I may revisit closer to summer.
