A vibrant and zesty IPA brewed with mandarin oranges.
Taste
Lightly bitter hops balance a sweeter undertone, with juicy tangerine dominating the mid-palate. The finish remains citrusy but turns drier. A light body and refreshing flavor make this beer very easy to drink.
Nose
Aromatic and perfumy, sweet tangerine peel meets a touch of tropical hops.
Appearance
Clear pale yellow beer with a medium-sized, long-lasting white head.
Additions
Mandarin orange
Hops
Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, Tango
Malts
Pilsner, wheat malt, oat malt

On tap at Goblet Zagreb. Unclear pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, weak tangerine and some yeasty nose. Yeasty, tangerine, light herbal and touch of caramel with sweetish finish. Seems not so fresh.

Tap at Goblet. Lightly hazy golden body, off-white head. Bit citric, earthy aroma, minerally, odd yeasty touch. Watery taste, some tangerine maybe in the background, low pine, herbal touches, bit minerally, low bready maltiness, pretty much no bitterness. Misleading name but hey, not sure what they expected from mandarin juice. Okay.

On tap at Põhjala, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma has plenty of mandarin oranges that almost come across buttery (i.e., diacetyl) and some biscuity malt. Flavour is rather jumbled, with orange, some earthy notes, and bready malt. Not a good hop expression, and the oranges don’t help. Not great.

Can. Gentle, quite smooth, and easy drinkable. Orange forward with piney notes and a pleasant malt backdrop. Not a thirst quencher, but sure nice. 747414 251114

100ml draught at Hop&Hen. White tophead, unclear golden body, lacing rings down the glass. Quite intense aromas of citrus fruits, promising. Fresh hop fruity taste of mandarin and orange. Citrus peels towards the ending. Refreshing and thirst quenching. (Tallinn, 05.11.2025).

On tap at Põhja Konn, Tallinn. Pius slightly hazy, pale golden with a s fairly modest, white head. Fruity aroma with mandarin and tangerine, pale malt and hints of herbs. Moderate sweet with fresh, citrusy flavours and a mild, but pleasant bitterness.
