Tangerine Dream

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a delicate white head that settles quickly. The carbonation is moderate and lively, creating fine bubbles that rise steadily. Light retention on the glass reveals a crisp, well-integrated effervescence typical of kettle sours.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tangerine and orange zest, backed by subtle citrus notes that suggest both peel and juice. The sourness is present but not aggressive, adding complexity without overwhelming the fruit character. A clean fermentation contributes a touch of crispness, allowing the adjunct citrus to dominate.

◐ Taste

Entry is tart and refreshing, with tangerine and orange flavors front and center. The mid-palate develops a pleasing dryness and maintains the citrus thread without harshness; the low bitterness (10 IBU) allows the fruit and acid to shine. Finish is clean and crisp, leaving a lingering citrus aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is short to medium and dominated by tangerine with a dry, cleansing quality. No residual sweetness interferes, allowing the sour character to provide a refreshing, thirst-quenching conclusion.
