Alex's Golden Paradise Tangerine Wheat
Brewed: 03/16/2024 Kegged: 03/28/2024
 In March of 2024, the Brew Master asked the Beer Model if there was anything she'd like to get on the to-brew list.
She has just recently started playing with ChatGPT, and for some weird reason started calling the AI "Alex".
The Beer Model worked with " Alex" to come up with an idea to brew. They decided on an American Wheat beer.
" Alex" and the Beer Model generated 3 separate wheat beer recipes, all of which were fairly similar.
We picked one and modified it slightly to end up with this recipe. It's a fairly standard American Wheat beer with some Tangerine zest flavor in the finish.
" Alex" gave the Beer Model a few suggestions for beer names and she ended up picking "Alex's Golden Paradise Tangerine Wheat".
You probably figured it out already, but in case not, I'll point out that the initials for "Golden Paradise Tangerine" are "GPT". Clever. Right?
It will be a nice refreshing zesty beer. Perfect for enjoying in the Colorado Spring.
A radiant American Wheat beer that combines sun-soaked bliss with citrus zest. Pouring a golden hue, this brew blends smooth wheat malt with vibrant tangerine zest, creating a refreshing and crisp experience. The aroma is a delightful mix of wheat malt and sweet tangerine, inviting you to a tropical oasis.
With a moderate alcohol content, it's perfect for leisurely moments or casual gatherings. The tangerine infusion adds a zesty twist, providing a burst of citrus sunshine in every sip. The finish is clean, leaving a lingering impression of tangerine zest. Alex's Golden Paradise Tangerine Wheat encapsulates the spirit of a golden paradise, making it an ideal choice for those who seek a flavorful escape in a glass—a liquid oasis to savor.
