16oz can. Pours looks like a glass of pink grapefruit with an inch of frothy head that dissipates quickly. Very little lacing. Aroma of tangerine, cranberries, lemon and maybe a bit of grapefruit. The taste is a tart blend of cranberries, tangerine, lemon and pink grapefruit. Slightly sweeter tangerine and wheat near the end with a tart finish. Medium body with lots of carbonation.

Drank from a 1 pint can purchased at New Park Brewing, West Hartford, CT
Canned on 3/27/19
Served in a teku
Big thanks to my sister Vanessa for grabbing my wife and I a few cans of this.
Really interesting appearance. The beer poured a gorgeous, burnished reddish-orange hue, not too dissimilar from ruby red grapefruit juice. The body was topped by a near finger-tall, fluffy white crown that quickly fell to a thin, lasting halo. No lacing whatsoever.
The aroma was pretty insane. Huge tangerine presence. Crisp and moderately sour. Like with the appearance, ruby red grapefruit also came to mind. I probably would not pick out the cranberry however.
The flavor profile was just as amazing as the nose. Tangerine notes dominated. Some zesty lemon was noticeable in the center. Moderately tart and just a touch sweet. Ruby red grapefruit appeared on the back end. Bit of pithy grapefruit rind on the finish, along with a hint of bitterness. More tangerine, tangerine peel and sugary sweetness after the swallow.
Excellent fluffy, lighter bodied mouthfeel. The liquid contained a spritzy, fairly aggressive effervescence that was crisp and sprightly on the palate like Champagne.
Mimosas anyone? New Park’s Blender Brunch is the beer equivalent, except with the orange juice swapped for tangerine and cranberry. This is amazing for what it is and possibly my favorite variant in the Blender Series to date.

Pours a reddish orange, very hazy with a creamy look to it. Smells like fresh squeezed OJ. Fantastic cranberry and orange flavor, bright and crisp. Great carbonation. Overall a new Blender favorite, could drink this all day long.

L - cranberries and tangerines, eh? Pours what looks exactly like ruby red grapefruit juice. Down to the fragile, fizzy head. Pinkish, reddish haze.
S - smells like a mimosa. Initial punch of cranberry, then a fruity grapefruit juiciness and berries. Maybe some kiwi. I see why this is called "Brunch"!
T - far more zesty on the tongue. Almost electric in flavor. Nostalgic taste that I can't put my finger on and it's driving me crazy. Could it be mimosa? More grapefruit juice and pulpy orange juice, but not as acidic and overwhelming. Must be the tangerines. Passionfruit dryness and finishes with cranberry tart.
F - light and playful, but with some pulpy heft, much like... a mimosa!
O - surprised at how little cranberry I was getting, but I suppose it played a supporting roll. Brought the tartness so the tangerine could work its sweet, sweet magic. Mimosa was the name of this game and I'm all for it!
