Simple Malt India Pale Ale Double à La Mangue
Brasseurs Illimités

Golden color, strong mango flavor, and strong bitterness. If the mango flavor can put you off at first, you forget about it later. For those who enjoy that typical flavor. I think it's good for what it suppose to be.

 

The color is golden with a nice opacity. The head is very evanescent and there is almost no lacing.
Smells like mangos, tastes like mangos. The mango is very present, with something of the peach in both the nose and the taste. It's quite bitter but sweet at the same time. Unfortunately, the alcohol warmth struggles to hide itself behind the mango.
It's a a very straighforward beer, with a lack of complexity, but the mango quality of it is very well done. A little lactic quality, at the end mixes well with the earthiness of the hops.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice cloudy beer, not sure about the color, maybe a dark straw or light yellow with a orange hue.With a 1 inch head with good retention.

Without hesitation this is a 5/5 aroma! Nice fresh hops presence, lots of tropical fruits, a little bit resinous too. With a really nice fresh mangoes aroma.

In the mouth it's still really fruity, a little bit resinous again. But the mangoes brings a really really nice flavor. It also adds a nice sweetness to counter-balance with the bitterness.

Overall it's definitely a top DIPA !

 

 

Bottle: Poured a hazy orangey color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops with light mango notes is quite pleasant. Taste is also a nice mix of citrusy hops with fresh mango notes with some medium bitterness that are also noticeable. Body is about a full for style with good carbonation. Refreshing and quite enjoyable take on the style though I would have preferred a bit less bitterness.
