Poured with a thumb of head that quickly disappeared and left no lace, the body is a clear brass yellow with a few whiffs of orange, wheat with the barest whiff of banana, but the taste is where this shines. This is a mild orange sour, as the beer comes across as a very light wheat and almost blonde ale, but is has just the exact right orange sour note as to not push this is into the orange lemonade spectrum with a slight grassy end. The beers balance, light body, good carbonation and incredible ease of drinking earns me some points here. This is as advertised, a tart wheat ale, not a sour that happens to have wheat.

Pours slightly hazy with a small head on top. Some bitter funk on the nose. The taste is tart, like it says, but with a wheat background, making this a bit unique in my books. This is not a sour beer, but it is on its way to be. Bubbly and dry with a cider-like aftertaste

Look: Feels strange to call this a bright pale shade of yellow, but it is. It's both muted and pale while having bright undertones. Pours with a 1 1/2 finger white head that recedes into a slight lacing within 5 minutes.
Smell: Mango and tangerines. Hints of lychee, lemon and cracked wheat. A very nice nose but quite muted.
Taste: The tartness hits you right at the start. It's not overwhelming though, it's very gentle. Tastes very clean, what I might imagine dry lemon grass tasting like. The end has a very crisp dry profile. There is really not much going on "taste" wise.....it's more a feel and sensation thing.
Feel: The mouth sensations are the standout quality of this beer. Tart without making you want to pucker up. Light bodied and medium to high carbonated. It has a crisp dry finish that is very refreshing.
I'm not a sour beer fan, and this isn't a sour per say....that being said it is tart and crisp enough to be a gateway into sours. So a nice little find for someone who thinks sours go to far, but can appreciate a bit of pucker in their beer. A solid B.

473 mL can from the LCBO; dated Jun 2 2021 and served barely chilled. The logo reminds me of Nickelodeon's Gak.
Pours effervescent and relatively clear; its golden blonde-coloured body is topped with nearly an inch of smooth, foamy white head that recedes within a couple of minutes. An arcing band of lace is left behind, along with a bubbly collar and filmy cap - looks great to me, but the nose is comparatively muted. There're hints of gritty, wheaty bread, maybe a touch of lemon and grassiness, and a very subtle lactic funk.
It's a well-made American wheat ale - not particularly sour, though it does have a pleasant, tangy lactic acidity, with hints of apple and lemon. The profile is tied together nicely with a clean, bready, wheaty pale malt sweetness that goes the distance, fading into an aftertaste that goes from tart to dry. Light-medium in body, with moderately assertive carbonation that briskly brushes the surface of the palate, which contrasts nicely with the soft fluffiness of the mouthfeel. I don't normally say this about lacto-soured stuff, but this is a true session ale.
Final Grade: 3.79, a worthy B+. GLB's Tango Tart Wheat Ale is sort of in the same ballpark as a kettle sour - except in this case, the wheat beer itself is sturdy enough to prevent the tartness from being the undisputed centre of attention. It's not what I'd call especially fancy or even all that memorable, but as a summer thirst quencher I feel like this would be extremely refreshing - something to put in the golf bag/backpack, or simply to wet the whistle while BBQing out back. The important part is to get the hell outside and start making up for lost time.

Can from lcbo.
Appearance - hazy medium pale golden colour with two fingers of quickly receding head. Lots of spidery lacing.
Smell - wheat, bread and with hints of citrus. Possibly some mixed berries in the background.
Taste- light flavours, some wheat, light bitterness and a kiss of citrus then tartness at the end.
Mouthfeel- medium- light bodied, modest carbonation and easy to drink.
Overall - decent little summer quencher, wouldn’t be adverse to enjoying another on a hotter summers afternoon.
