I love Tired Hands fruited IPAs/DIPAs, but this one just has too much mango. It ends up with very thick consistency, almost like drinking a chunky fruit juice. Not a bad flavor, but I would prefer the mango cut back significantly.

 

 

Wicked hazy Mango color with a small white head and great lacing. Thick resinous Mango purée nose. Notes of sweet mango, intense pine, stone fruit and an odd medicinal burn cloaking it. Soft, creamy, dry. They need to figure out what's ruining these Mango beers, it's bad.

 

 

 

 

32oz growler. Served in a snifter glass. Pour is crazy creamy orange body, like straight orange juice. One finger white head, good retention, not a whole ton of lacing. Smell is crazy mango and orange juice; even to the point of being overly juicy. Slight sweet caramel, but mostly juice. Flavour is very interesting; at first there is a ton of mango and citrus, but later on the palate, I get a strange vegetal peppery heat that lingers to the finish. It's really weird, and honestly not what I expected. Mouthfeel is medium-lighter bodied, creamy with good carbonation, peppery burn on the finish. This was a very weird beer, and if I really liked spiciness, this would rate higher for me.

 

 

Hazy dark gold in appearance, the fragrance of west coast hops intermingles with tropical fruit and citrus. The front end of each sip is loaded with more resinous flavor covered with mangoes, the back end turns into a painful letdown. It gets harsh, not in the sense that a dipa might be green. No, this feels much more like a different problem. Would have been really fucking awesome if tired hands would have given me a taste before I traded in two growlers and filled up to of theirs.
