Sampled from a 22oz bomber (6-packs of 12oz cans are also available), the bottling date on this one is from about two and half months ago, so not ideal. I was a big fan of Vengeful Spirit so I’m looking forward to this one. Tangerine Express is 6.7% ABV and 75 IBUs with tangerine and pineapple puree added. Vengeful Spirit is 7.3% ABV and 57 IBUs with pineapple and Mandarin orange added. There’s much in common here with Vengeful Spirit, a new fruit IPA seasonal that I reviewed last year. But the point is that Stone is running pale hoppy beers only for their core lineup.
Sure, Ruination is a Double IPA, Go To is a Session IPA, and Ripper is a pale ale. Tangerine Express debuted in late 2016 and now joins the cast of Stone’s “IPAs only” portfolio of year-round releases. bottle poured into specialty glassware – 7.3% abv. Stone Brewing – Stone Tangerine Express – 22 oz. We’re not looking for a sweet concoction to appease the “I want my beer to taste like fruit juice” crowd. In addition to the complexities of the tangerine - the likes of which you can only get by using the whole fruit - we judiciously employ just a hint of whole pineapple for a backnote (you’d likely not even pick it out of the mix if we didn’t tell you it was there). We use bountiful whole tangerine purée, which brings pithy, crisp bitterness to the citrus flavor. Product description: This ain’t no just-add-juice approach.
