Mango Cali-Squeeze
SLO Brew

 

pours a super hazy body that starts orange-near-amber and fades out in color gradually to a light yellow. an excited, rocky frothy foam head billows to a finger-and-a-half height, but falls after a few moments to a rocky halo surrounding a murky cap, leaving a large amount of thick, sticky sudsy lacing behind in the process

aroma is a flaccid array of tropical fruit and maybe a dash of honeyed malt. super sweet

taste is super sweet as well with thick juicy mango, though thankfully it rounds out more towards the end, pulling in some hopped orange-juice bitterness.

mouthfeel is very high carbonation and medium-thick bodied, running pillowed-smooth throughout with a slightly earthy orange (peel'n'all) aftertaste that lingers more on the side of mango after a moment. the finish is non-descript.

overall:
not really sure what makes this a hefe. none of the clove or banana etc hallmarks you'd expect are present. otherwise, it's a decent fruit beer taste that thankfully pulls in the reins. or, maybe it'd be better to compare it to a poorly bittered/balanced neipa-light. idk. it's pretty good but not recognizable as a hefe

 

 

 

16oz can with no visible date. Opened 5-16-20.
Big, dense 2 finger white head with excellent retention. Golden and slightly hazy hefeweizen. Light, spotty lacing.
Mango, orange, and citrus. Ripe fruit aromas. Smells good, not getting any hefe characteristics though.
Tropical mango flavor. Not much else but enjoyable.
Light to medium body, good carbonation. Short and mostly dry finish.
Tastes/smells fresh despite no dating and different can graphics on their website.
This is refreshing and crushable but not really a hefeweizen.
Good.

Fizzy mostly clear copper. Fluffy head with lace.
Sweet mango nose.
Tastes like some weird bready mango milkshake. Off-flavors unable to pinpoint.
Maybe good for seltzer drinkers just getting into beer that want something sugary?

terrible look on the pour. huge non-uniformed bubbles.... but it IS a novelty, right? nose is amazingly fruity and sweet!!! taste is much more bitter and smells of alcohol, even with the low abv.... it gives it a FOUR LOKO kind of vibe and that isnt good. if it gives me the FOUR LOKO headache, i'm driving up there to speak with the manager! pretty can, though! summer-y, for sure!!! and 1700 hits on Untappd compared to this 2nd one here.... Next Glass?
