Bright Ideas Brewing

This vibrant Wild Specialty Beer captures the essence of a sun-drenched orchard. Bright Ideas Brewing delivers an immediate punch of fresh tangerine and concentrated orange juice, anchored by a clean, lactic acidity. The citrus profile is vivid and zesty, reminiscent of freshly peeled fruit, providing a refreshing sweetness that quickly transitions into a crisp, puckering finish. With its moderate strength and lively carbonation, the beer remains exceptionally drinkable, balancing the juicy fruit character with a sharp, tart edge that cleanses the palate. The tangerine remains the star, driving both the aromatic intensity and the bright, acidic structure of the beer.

Appearance. Glowing orange-gold (8-10 SRM) with a thin, white head showing poor retention and minimal lacing. The body exhibits a slight haze from the fruit addition.

Aroma. High intensity tangerine and citrus zest dominate the nose. A clean, lactic acidity provides a sharp, yogurt-like tang. Malt is low and neutral, resembling white bread, while hop character and wild yeast funk are absent.

Taste. Initial taste is sweet and juicy tangerine. Moderate-high lactic tartness balances the fruit. No hop bitterness or flavor is detected. Malt provides a very light, grainy base. The finish is short and tart, with a lingering orange juice aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation. A crisp, acidic bite is present without being harsh. No astringency or significant alcohol warmth is perceived.
