Another fruit beer. Don't judge: I'm a girl, after all. This is another offering from Lost Coast, out of California. (If you'll recall, we reviewed their Indica previously.) Tangerine is proclaimed to be a, you guessed it, tangerine wheat beer.
This pours a hazy medium orange with a very light, white head. The nose is almost like peeling a Cutie at Christmas.... you know what I'm talking about, the little Clementine oranges. The label says that it's made with natural flavors, and the nose doesn't betray that claim. Yet the tangerine aromas don't overwhelm the beer... they're very noticeable, but not what I would call overwhelming. The first sip is pretty balanced between fruit and malt, with not much hop presence noticed. Although it's not cloyingly sweet, by any means, it is well carbonated and almost resinous feeling in the mouth.
At 5.0% ABV, this would be a great refresher on a hot summer day. Or if you like your beer (and some orange juice) for breakfast. This is a fairly solid offering from Indica, although I'd say if you don't like citrus, avoid it.
3.8/5 caps

I really have nothing to add to this aside from the flavor, to me, is like a orange creamsicle. Nice, light bodided beer, that's tasty and refreshing on a hot day.
