Notes

Overall, a very clean, simple beer. Pre-fermentation, the tangerine character from the zest was right where we wanted it. Not in your face but a nice compliment to the beer. Post fermentation, that character was almost completely gone. So we added Brewers Best Tangerine Extract in the amount of 0.2mL / 16oz beer. This was the perfect amount in our opinion.

We did experiment with adding vanilla extract at 0.3mL / 16oz beer in addition to the tangerine extract. This made somewhat of a creamsicle beer and was pretty good. This is actually how most people who had this requested it from us. It was a pretty big hit.

Future iterations of this beer, we'll be increasing the amount of flaked corn and we'll increase the amount of zest to 40 tangerines. We're hoping by doubling the amount of zest that some of that character will remain in the beer.
