Mango Mosaic
Breckenridge Brewery & The Farm House

 

 

 

 

Appearance:
Glassy, yellow-gold beneath a paper-thin slip of white suds.

Bouquet:
Creamy, mango Julius and freshly chopped green apple. The two are followed by something I can only describe as a woolen, floral afternote.

Feel:
Light bodied, crisp, and a tad creamy. Concludes on a bracing, tart fruit linger.

Taste:
A mouthful of minced, green apples and barely-ripe mangoes. The aftertaste is a low rumble of earthy, mosaic hops.

Overall:
Mild yet flavorful. Good for pool parties and porch drinkin’.

Taste: hopped with a hemp-like dankness buck hint of mango sweetness, crisp dry finish. Mango fruit, earth hemp nose. Honey colored hue, slight haze, small head and lace. Bit dank for me. 29 IBUs

12 oz single bottle from Fogey's into Calusa snifter.
Date is best by 11/2/20, so I better get cracking.

Pours a pale straw color from the bottle and forms a slightly darker blonde in the glass, about 50% opaque. Fuzzy little white head of 1 finger, recedes gradually to 1/2 finger and leaves some nice speckled lacing up the sides.

Aroma is bread and mango, with a bit of dank cattiness, lemon peel, and peach yogurt.

Flavor comes out hops first, with a sharp grassy bitterness but also a delicate fruitiness with grapefruit and orange peel, some lemon oil, followed by mango sorbet and bread. As it warms, the mango notes become a bit medicinal. Like mango cough syrup. I've never tasted anything like it before. Also the bitterness is just insane, it's nearly palate scrubbing and it keeps piling on the more you sip it. Pretty soon it's just medicine and grass.

Feel is crisp and light, airy even, with a moderate alcohol heat and some stubborn clinging resins. It does kind of ruin the palate a bit.

Overall, I wasn't expecting this to be so bitter. Aside from the medicine flavor, I didn't get any artificial mango like other reviews state. Instead I got more of a genuine mango sorbet flavor. Back off on the boil hops a bit and remedy that medicinal mango flavor and you might have something worth drinking.

Edit : getting halfway through the beer it turned to total Robitussin. I had to dump it.

Smell of mangoes
Clear golden color
Medium-light mouthfeel
Medium-high carbonation
Taste of mangoes is there without being overpowering. Light bitterness.
Overall a nice balanced beer.

12-oz bottle into Samuel Smith pint glass

A - golden yellow body loaded with suspended sediment, high visible carbonation, 3 fingers of heavy foam

S - mostly sweet mango, hints of malt and bitterness

T - mango and tropical fruits, lemony citrus, touch of pine, enough grain in the background for a decent balance; hints of pine and pepper appear for a dry finish

M - crisp medium body, high carbonation; refreshing with a dry finish

O - Fruit beers really are not my thing. That said, this one is a decent pale.

 

12oz can bottle in a nonic glass. No can dating.

Look- Slightly hazy golden amber color, small off-white head that recedes very quickly to a ring of bubbles, minimal lacing. Light carbonation streams visible.

Smell- Ripe mango, nectarine, a bit of citrus, faint pine, herbal/floral hops.

Taste- Similar to the aroma, tropical fruit and nectarine, some citrus and grainy malt, light pine with a moderately bitter hop back end.

Feel- Medium bodied, fairly crisp and dry. Moderate carbonation on the tongue.

O- Pretty good overall but not something that I'll go back to.

 

 

 

12 oz. bottle:

Pours very slightly hazed golden with a white head that leaves lacing.

The smell is fresh mango. Mango aroma is natural. Grainy malt, some hop spice and touch of black pepper shows that it is a solid APA with mango rather than just fruit.

The taste is of mango that enhances a very solid APA. Mango, grainy malt, hop spice and and a touch of black pepper are all balanced. Refreshing dryness finish.

The carbonation is a bit too fast at the start, but soon calms down. An easy drinking fruit-infused pale ale. Mango present, especially in the nose, but doesn't overwhelm.

 

 

Somewhat cloudy yellow-amber color. Medium head that dissipated rather quickly. Pleasant aroma; In addition to the mango and guava, I detect pineapple, apricot, and black pepper. The taste is bitter and dry. The taste of mango is very subtle. A refreshing pale ale, but I've had better.
