Mango Lime Pilsner
Uinta Brewing Company

 

 

Fruity tangy aroma that is not very inviting. From the first sip it's strange and strong-flavored with cheap Margarita mix. Chemical acidity and why is it so bitter? This is thoroughly revolting. Among the worst fruit-flavored beers I've ever had, especially from a respected brewery. You can't call it a Pilsner. Somebody must like it, since it continues in production. From the 12 oz can. On the bottom it says "canned on 6/17/19."

 

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Yes, that can did come courtesy of the amazing woodychandler. Has a cloudy, bright yellow color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of limes, hints of mango. Taste is full of limes, somewhat tart, a hint of salt, zero mango in the flavor. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a refreshing summer beer, but I would liked to have had some mango somewhere in the mix.

 

I am CANtinuing my foray into Happy Loads of New (Mainly) Lager Beers Sunday (Week 718), But What Now/Next?!? with another entry for The CANQuest (tm). This may become a regular thing on Sundays …

From the CAN: "Undeniably Craft Unthinkably Drinkable"; "Forget the Map, Pack the Uinta"; "Brewed with Renewable power - wind & solar"; "Pack It In - Pack It Out".

I was excited to Crack! the vent on this one, but I managed to keep myself in check on the Glug. I performed a C-Line Glug which I have found to have maximum effect with minimal effort. This action caused the unbidden formation of two-plus fingers of soapy, rocky, bone-white head that quickly fell to wisps, leaving only a modicum of lacing. Color was Straw-Yellow (SRM = > 2, < 4) with an oh-so-slight chill haze that may have been due to the internal temperature of my reefer. I will be watching throughout to see if it clarifies. Nose had a minty lime fruitiness. Not really up to spec for the style, but not unpleasant. Mouthfeel was thin-to-medium, not watery, but not terribly far beyond it. The taste was more prevalent in terms of the lime, which should have had first-billing, but the mango was also quite discernible. Along with these fruity flavors, I was still getting an odd mintiness, like freshly-picked garden mint. It was not at all unpleasant, but it just did not meet the specs for the style. Finish was fruity and cool, semi-dry & quite refreshing. The haze never did clear up, by the way.

This is an AWESOME summer beer! The lime comes through well and is balanced nicely.

 

 

 

 

Poured from a 12 oz can into a clear pint glass. It looks a thick, hazy yellow. Slight white lacing on the top. I'll be honest, it smells a little like fruit loops. Very sweet smell. The smell is definitely mango lime, but the taste is lime first and mango second. It doesn't taste any sweeter than the sweetest lime you've ever had. It's a fine lager, but I don't get any pilsner flavors. It finishes very dry, which I like for a fruitier beer. The feel is excellent. It has the perfect, medium/high carbonation for the style. The mouth feel matches well to how it pours. This is a great summer beer I would definitely seek out again.

 

 

Uinta Mango Lime Pilsner has a thick, fizzy, white head, minimal glass lacing, and a hazy, gold-lemon yellow, bubbly appearance. Aroma is of citrus rind and white bread crust. Taste is of acidic citrus, white bread crust, and a tap water undertaste. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Uinta Mango Lime Pilsner finishes drying.

White head. Straw yellow.

Crisp, clean, refreshing. Way more lime than mango. Pilsner, bready malts but not very authentic in terms of a German style. Fun easy drinking summer beer.

 

This pilsner definitely displays the fruity mango and lime flavors that you'd expect but especially the latter is very artificial-tasting a somewhat reminds of detergent. Not an easy beer to drink as the aromas are not negligible

The mild esters and floral hop nature that's common to traditionally made pilsners lean toward apple and citrus. Pushing that fruity fare into a more straight forward taste leads the brewers at Uinta to add gentle additions of both mango and lime to a well made pilsner for a refreshing, light but characterful session.

Mango Lime Pilsner pours innocently enough with a golden straw color and the haze that's normally associated with kellerbier. Mango and lime stand out immediately to the nose with those gentle lemon, grassy, peppery and floral nuances playing a supportive aromatic role. Light and bready crispness greets the tongue with fresh baking bread, honeysuckle and a hint of simple syrup.

A quick transition to dryness occurs on the middle palate as the lager quickly sheds its scant sweetness and the juicy taste of tropical and citrus additions provide a mild sangria character on the drying beer. Moderate hops bring a spice of lemongrass, lemon pepper, hay and a pleasant parsley-like peppery grassiness that balance the fruit and offset any remaining malt sugars.

Medium light on the palate, the fruit flavors keep the beer seemingly richer on the late palate because of its strong linger into finish and aftertaste. This well made pilsner is a great choice for those who crave the fruitiness of fruit punch but want a drier, less sweet, and lighter version without giving up taste.
