The packaging for Tangerine Wheat is quite appealing, I must say, bright orange background with a tangerine headed (literally as you can see from the picture) humanoid. However, the other day I was looking for an alcoholic drink to quell my woes when I saw a bright orange hue out of the corner of my eye. Golden Road and 21st Amendment still take the proverbial cake for best watermelon ale. Unfortunately, I was a bit underwhelmed from the flavor. I was initially alerted to their presence from a 6 pack of watermelon ale, a definite favorite in my house. So Tangerine Wheat is the second beer I’ve sampled from Lost Coast Brewery. The aesthetic on the site reads more as 80’s SoCal than NorCal. I like to say the king of the sea because sharks are fucking fantastic. LC’s flagship beer is Great White, a Belgian white featuring a toothy great white shark holding a beer and surfboard. I will be celebrating a birthday this weekend, unfortunately, a few years older than six. Lost Coast is celebrating its sixth birthday today, happy birthday! Judging solely from the pictures on Google, I definitely want to visit this gorgeous coastal city with tall ass redwood trees. Eureka is in that area of Northern California that is all national forest until the Oregonian border. Today’s offering is from Lost Coast Brewery, located in Eureka, CA. But due to a mentally ill president, a Congress who cares more about giving trillions of dollars to large business, and selfish fuck sticks who still refuse to wear a damn mask, we’re fucked. For fucks sake, we had every opportunity to contain this damn virus. Oh, and Coronavirus continues to ravish the nation. LA is currently in the middle of a 100° heatwave. This really sucks if, like me, you rely on quarters to do laundry. We have a coin shortage due to decreased circulation in money from businesses being closed. Sorry Chachi, maybe in another four years. The most disappointing part of the virtual conventions is the RNC not getting to parade around a barrage of washed-up 80’s celebrities. And speaking of elections, we have the DNC this week, and the RNC the next, albeit in a virtual capacity. People who may receive life-saving medication in the mail may feel differently. Now, my item was not crucial or time-sensitive, so I wasn’t too annoyed. I had a package arrive nearly two weeks after expected. Anyone who has been expecting packages the last few weeks has likely seen an uptick in arrival time. We have a president who is actively sabotaging the USPS, so citizens who want to mail in their ballots may not have their votes counted.

It’s almost the end of August, I think. Tangerine Wheat: a mild, dry wheat beer with an explosive dose of tangerine aroma fun in the sun I’d also try it out in sauces where you might use wine, maybe boiling some down with butter and shallots to go with that fish. This is going to be a charming outdoor sipper as the weather warms, and it has real potential as a food beer, particularly with fried fish. Taking the clue, Lost Coast Brewing has come up with a tangerine-perfumed wheat beer - as usual with Lost Coast, not erring on the side of the subtle it’s a whole lot of tangerine on top of a crisp, mildly hopped wheat. Sooner or later, some American brewer (face it, it’ll be a Californian) is bound to produce a kiwi-mango beer that will embarrass us all.Ĭitrus, however, has a true affinity for wheat beers, which need to make up for their lack of barley roundness, and a dash of lemon syrup is traditional with Berliner weisse.
