Soured rye malt, lactose, mangos, huell melon hops, and fermented with a belgian yeast.
This beer really captures the rich, creamy, mango-lush, beauty of a mango lassi - but this beer is still beer! It's a hard one to fit into a style... so maybe we'll just describe how we arrived at this delicious end!
We started with a malt base that features a touch of rye malt to bring some added spicy complexity to the beer. We then soured the wort to bring in a yogurt-like character from the lactobacillus. Then, in the boil, we added huell melon hops to bring in a ripe melon aroma. We also added milk sugar for a slightly sweet, creamy mouthfeel. We fermented this beer with a Belgian yeast that contributes huge fruity notes. Finally, so many pounds of pureed mango were added after primary fermentation.

Tasted in a Rastal Teku from a one pint can on November 19, 2019. Sour ale brewed with mango puree, rye malt, oats, Huell Melon hops and lactose. Nice full body.

Pours golden-orange with a modest cloudiness and a half-finger of head that dissipates quickly. A fair amount of lactic tartness on the nose, just a tiny bit butyric, but that disappears on the palate, thankfully. Honeydew and pineapple on the nose, mango and a tart yogurt on the palate. I got this as a four-pack primarily for my wife, who loves a good mango lassi, but I haven't been able to get her thoughts on one of them yet.
