"A refreshing citrus ale, Lost Coast Tangerine Wheat combines our Lost Coast Harvest Wheat with natural tangerine flavors. Brewed with a combination of wheat and crystal malts, and finished with Perle hops." What the description, found on Lost Coast Brewery's site fails to inform you is that this is orange juice with alcohol and a very slight beer taste. If it is 100 degrees outside with 100 percent humidity this beer would be a great choice. The ultra strong flavor of tangerine was not my favorite, though I could endure a few hours of pool side drinks. The cost is pretty solid, at $1.79 per bottle, and at 5% abv it is a good value craft beer for the price. This beer should be easy to find at places like World Market and other stores that are similar. Probably not going to find it at Meijer, Kroger or other large chain grocery stores though.

The next selection really pissed me off, although it wasn't the beer that pissed me off, it was my ineptness as I spilled 3/4 of it on my picnic table trying to smoke some pork, but I digress. Flying Dog is one of my favorite breweries and their seasonal Woody Creek White is everything I love in a beer. "Refreshing and light citrus notes with subtle wheat, coriander, and orange flavors" this might be the perfect "all day" beer. At 4.8% abv you certainly should be able to handle a few. The price is as nice as the flavor as it runs a mere $1.49 per bottle or $6.99 per six pack. Overall a terrific summer beer that has a very refreshing, clean, crisp flavor. You shouldn't have any trouble finding this beer either as I have seen it at Kroger, and other national chain grocery stores. If you can't find it there, look for it at World Market or your local specialty beer shop.

The latest sample is a certified organic brew for all of you "earthy" types. The flavor was very similar to an older version of Bell's Oberon (the newer brew isn't as good as it was) Fish Brewing Company does a great jog with their Fish Tale Organic Blonde Ale, it is "light bodied and golden, and brewed with just a schmatering of rye...it sports subtle spicy tones that complement the honey sweetness of its pale malt to a tee. While the ingredients aren't at all like those contained in Oberon, for some reason I kept thinking of the classic Michigan summer brew as I drank. It had good flavor, but left the malty after taste that I grow tired of after a few beers. It was reasonably priced at $1.99 per bottle or $8.99 for six. I haven't seen it anywhere other than Total Wine so I can't say that is widely available like some of the aforementioned beers so you may have difficulty finding it. The after taste would limit my consumption to 3-4 beers which takes it out of the "all day" category.

You should add some cool graphics with the beer cans.
