So, I hear a satsuma is a semi-seedless, easy-peeling citrus, sometimes called a miyagawa, unshu mikan, unshiu, mandarin or a naartjie. Come on dudes, just say what you mean, its a stupid ass tangerine; get with it. From a green can, the eye is a pale orange slightly hazy brew. Nose is IPA with hints of orange perfume. First taste is one big giant bitter astringent phenolic bite and bang in the palate. This stuff is artificially way too bitter. Before I looked it up, and after I tasted this BS, I thought a satsuma was another word for an old, weather beaten rubber inner tube; because that's what this tastes like. Combine said inner tube with some orange perfumed hand soap, then mix it together with some pine tar sap & dieseled turpentine, in a blender, and drink it - then you get the feel of this stuff. I see its not as mouth coating as most viscous IPA, but that doesn't cover up the exacting rudeness of this nasty Nellie of an IPA beer. At least its got an almost mind numbing kick to be appreciated, after it insults my lager loving taste buds. So, I guess I can finish dah can.

12 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a crystal clear, super dark ruby color with a small beige head and decent retention. Very little lacing. Dark roasted malt aroma. The flavor matches the aroma: Dark roasted malt flavor throughout. Drinks like a thin stout or a Schwarzbier. Very clean and smooth. Medium body with medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Great flavor and easily repeatable.

From a can. Pours a clear gold with an off white head. Aromas of mangoes. Flavors are moderately bitter with some sweetness to balance. Very nice for the style.

On tap @A la Cart in Orlando with Got & his lovely wife. Unusually dark amber, clear, weak lace, tulip. Smell is sharp malt & significant bitter mandarin peel. Taste is danky hops coated in more than expected mandarin. Nearly dry, it's more like a hoppy red ale with a lot of lingering mandarin oil. This is great.

12 oz. can from The Bat Cave. Pours a semi-clear dark gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Zero lacing. Light smokey aroma. As advertised, flavors of sweet vanilla and light coffee and ash. No bready notes. This tastes more like a blonde sweet stout or a vanilla cream ale versus a blonde ale. Pretty tasty. Nice surprise. The 7.0% ABV is invisible. Medium body. Very low carbonation. Not bitter.
