Blood Orange Tangerine
Wild Ohio Brewing Company

Refreshing tea beer you can barley taste the alcohol also gluten free. Reminds me of orange soda with a hint of wine.

To me so far the weakest of the offering like sparkling juice mixed with tea. More refreshing than the Bourbon cherry so it gets bonus point for being flavorful and easy to crush.

 

This brewer came around a little while back with some new ideas. This is a great example of their good output. A refreshingly new refreshing drink.

It pours all dainty-like with just a bit of lace showing. But she smells like a little something is going down. Yeasty goodness. The taste is sweet and easy to take, like a cooler. The drink totally works as a refresher, and it is great to see something so original work so well.

Highly recommended.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 2/8/2018. Pours slightly hazy medium golden yellow/light orange color with a small white head with decent retention, that reduces to a thin ring of lace that lingers. Slight spotty lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of big juicy blood orange, tangerine, lemon, citrus zest, honey, brown sugar, and light herbal tea earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance of oranges, tea, and sugar notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy blood orange, tangerine, lemon, citrus zest, honey, brown sugar, and light herbal tea earthiness. Light herbal/citrus peel bitterness and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy blood orange, tangerine, lemon, citrus zest, honey, brown sugar, and herbal tea earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice robustness and balance of oranges, tea, and sugar flavors; with a nice malt/tart/bitterness balance; and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitter/tartness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately sugary/syrupy, and fairly sticky/tangy/acidic mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a delicious gluten free fruit beer. All around nice robustness and balance oranges, tea, and sugar flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink with the mildly tart/bitter finish. This works really well for a gluten free beer, though I am not sure what the sugar source is from. Balanced oranges, tea, and sweetness. Very vibrant on citrus flavors. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. Would be a great summer beverage.

Not bad, light, refreshing.
