John's been enjoying Lost Coast Brewery's Tangerine Wheat and since we kicked our Raspberry and Honey Wheat long ago we decided to try and do something similar. John found a tangerine extract on-line and during the brew we did a little taste testing it a generic hefeweizen we had in the fridge ... ugg it was terrible. The extract was all bitter, and no sweet fruity goodness.
So after the brew ... which went spectacularly btw... went back to the store to get some real tangerine and make a puree. That is how we did our raspberry and people loved it... although I think I'll tone down the sugar a bit. That beer was way to sweet for me.
When my neighbor Fumi got wind of our plans he's volunteered some peaches for the second side... Peach Wheat ... could be a winner.
Some pics of the brew day below... taken by my buddy from high school Bryan who happened to be visiting that day. He's got a drum shop in Phoenix called The Drummer's Den if your interested ... but that is another story.
