Tasting Notes
Tart, hints of orange citrus with a hit of Citra Hops. Far to easy to drink.

Notes -
A Gypsum applied to Mash water, Acid malt required for pH on my water, Chocolate malt added only for color to meet guidelines.

Skinned tangerines with no pith diced and pasteurized at 160F for 20min on stovetop with 6oz water, cooled, and pitched immediately to carboy with yeast addition.

After primary ferment drops, rack to secondary away from fruit. Dryhop as normal.

Ferment temp: 75F allowed to rise



Check your tangerines! I used 4 for this, and they were way sweeter than I expected. It really boosted my OG when I put them in the fermenter. Belle Saison is a beast! It will chew down wort to nothing, you are warned!

For reference, my OG ended up being 15.5P after the tangerine addition, but the malt OG was bang on (12.2P). I finished at 7.2ABV
 
Sounds tasty. How many times have you brewed this? Anything you would change about it?
