Raging Eagle Mango
Yuengling Brewery

 

 

 

 

 

12 oz can

lightly cloudy orangish golden color, white head. mild mango aroma. taste is a little sweet, but clean and refreshing. thin to medium bodied. overall a little better than I expected.

 

 

Purchased from Ingles as a 24oz can for $2.95. Poured into a tulip glass.

L - Pours an orange-yellow with a slight haze, and a two-finger off-white head that goes away rather quickly.
S - Fermented mango. A bit of grassiness.
T - Sweet mango, followed by an underlying wheat note. Finish is on the grassy side and relatively dry.
F - Light-medium body, with light carbonation. Super drinkable and refreshing.
O - If there were ever a beer that would best pair with a wood-tip wine-flavored Black & Mild, this would be the perfect match. It's not quite like Yuengling itself, as the base beer tastes rather cheap. It's refreshing, and if I wanted to get day drunk on gas station beer, this would be a solid go-to. As such, this is a good choice for day drinking at a music festival or related event.

 

 

 

24 ounce can into IPA glass. Canned on 1/19/2021. Pours Slightly hazy/cloudy pale golden yellow color with a 2-3 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas and flavors of juicy mango fruit with some cracker/lightly biscuity malts and herbal/woody/grassy hops. Nose was a lot more vibrant on the authentic mango fruit. Light-medium herbal, woody, grassy bitterness and minimal fruit tartness on the finish. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; very crisp/clean/refreshing. Perfectly clean lager flavors. No cloying/astringent flavors. This is basically just a Pils with some mango added. I'd take it every day over the amber lager.

 

Pours a clear golden-orange color. Remarkably effervescent. Thin two to three finger sudsy off-white head. Head retention is not all that great. Aroma has notes of sweet mango, mango syrup, not much else beyond that. Taste follows the nose with lots of mango flavor - not sweet - overlying a rather neutral underlying beer. Yuengling actually says this is a pils base beer with mango added. There are some earthy, piney hops on the back end. The mango, which can sometimes have a slight piney flavor definitely has that here with the hops accenting it. I do not personally like the interplay of the underlying pilsner and the mango flavoring in this, but I can see how this wold be refreshing on a hot day. Feel is light to moderately bodied. Crisp carbonation, but on the other hand, its somewhat syrupy. Overall its not a beer I would personally want to drink again - I just didn't love the way the mango is integrated into the beer.

 

Walking around Busch Gardens in the heat and headed in for some draught.. Incredible taste and very thirst quenching. 6% has a good kick especially when beers are 12$ for a draught in Busch Gardens. Mango after taste and not thick but wet. Would never guess it was a pilsner but thought it was a wit beer.. Nope, so its good on gout sufferers. Just found it in 12pk cans at Publix. You bet I bought it! Ahhhhhh.. This is a sober review.

I was hoping this was gonna be on par with magic hats #9 (hint of apricot). It falls short. Its not bad, but isn’t anything special. It’s a nice novelty, nothing more.

Smells better than it tastes. Would not buy again. If u want a fruity drink don't get this fruit beer get a seltzer or something.
