Mango Ale
Wachusett Brewing Company

16 oz can acclimated to 45°F and poured into a weizen glass.

Pours a mostly clear pineapple gold, with a 3.5 finger creamy white head, laying a decent while and leaving heavy lacing.

Initial aroma is yeasty with general fruitiness, mango, and melted ghee. That's a strange thing to smell but it really smells strongly of that to me, it adds a lot to the smell and I find it very nice, buttery and warm. After agitating I get a clear test some with the same butter/ghee in the background.

Initial taste before swallowing is fruity yeast. After swallowing the yeast remains, momentarily followed by mango, presenting partially as whiffs around the mouth and partially as a taste. On the inhale and in the back of the mouth/tongue are notes of butter/caramel, again between whiffs and a taste, very pleasant, and it adds a great deal.

Mouthfeel is smooth, buttery is the best word I have, cascading with zero resistance.

Overall it's very very enjoyable, and extremely easy to drink. Wheat ale would not have been my first choice to use mango on, but it ends up being a very good choice, as they're both mild and creamy. The mango flavor is executed very nicely, and pairs well with the other present flavors. Another nice pairing is that of the flavors and the mouthfeel, both being buttery/creamy. This would be an excellent beer to relax with on a warm day, an excellent session beer, and an excellent beer to introduce someone to beer who isn't a fan.

Will absolutely buy again repeatedly, in 4 packs, as well as recommend.

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden amber color with a small head of fizzy white foam. The head fades quite quickly, leaving a touch of fizzy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The smell is rather light overall, but strongest of a sweet mango smell mixed with some wheat bread. Other aromas of orange and a bit of peach and apricot round it all out.
Taste – The taste begins strongest of a wheat and mango flavor mixed with some of the apricot and peach that were detected in the nose. As the taste advances the mango gets a bit stronger all while the wheat lightens. At the same time a light level of grass and hay join in, leaving one with a rather crisp taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is light and crisp with a higher carbonation level. Overall, the feel is rather nice and makes for an easy summer style sipper.
Overall – A rather nice summer fruit brew. Overall refreshing and good for a warm summer day outside.
