I love a good Tangerine beer as long as its not too sweet and this really hits the spot. Amazing color and nice head to the poor from a tall boy can. Would definitely drink again (and again, and again...)

Very drinkable NEIPA, bursting with orange/tangerine taste. Finishes very easy and smooth, with mild happiness. Enjoyed at The Torrey Pines Grill, in a tall Tom Collins glass.

16 oz can, no canned date, best by date of 11/28/22. Consumed from a tall tulip glass 8/31/22. Short lived off white 2 finger head no lacing. Not impressive to look at after the first minute. smell and taste dominated by tangerine/ creamsicle. Nearly creamy mouthfeel. moderate carbonation. overall as-advertised on the can

Citrus nose, creamy mouthfeel, light hoppy bitterness. Perfect with spicy barbecue. There’s a little aftertaste on the back end that I wasn’t crazy about, which is why I didn’t rate it higher

Picked up a can of this with a bunch of other stuff on a recent trip to Windmill Farms. Generally I enjoy beers from Second Chance, but not all the hoppy efforts. Back of the can read, “This smooth, fruity, and supple hazy IPA will leave you feeling like you're floating on a cloud... a fluffy tangerine cloud.”
Poured a golden-to-light amber hazy color with 3-to-4 fingers of off-white frothy head. Lots of bubble streams coming up along the sides of the glass. World-class foamy layered lacing. World-class foamy retention. (Sight - 4.50)
Smelled tangerine, orange blossom, orange creamsicle, floral, mandarin orange and pineapple. No mention of hops, but I would lean toward Mandarina Bavaria, Amarillo and El Dorado. Can followed the glass. (Smell - 4.00)
Taste followed the nose, maybe not quite as good. Just tons of tangerine/orange flavor. In order got tangerine, orange blossom, orange creamsicle, mandarin orange, floral, pineapple and citrus rind. No mention of hops, but still leaning toward Mandarina Bavaria and Amarillo, and possibly El Dorado. (Taste - 3.75)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, fruity finish. (Feel - 3.50)
This was very good overall. Just a tad too sweet, but still really liked it. (Overall - 3.75)
