Mango Burst
Heist Brewery

 

 

A: Pours a murky medium to dark golden orange in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate burnt orange + dark golden yellow + bright orange colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall dense sudsy foamy off-white head that reduces to a large patch of thin film covering a little more than 75% of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate to strong aromas of juicy tropical/mango and citrus/grapefruit hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + oat + caramel + honey malts with a moderate amount of honey + caramel + lactose sweetness. Light aromas of vanilla.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + oat + caramel + honey malts with a moderate amount of honey + caramel + lactose sweetness. That is followed by slightly heavier than light flavors of vanilla. Finally there are moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/mango and citrus/grapefruit hops which imparts a light amount of bitterness which fades away pretty quickly leaving lingering sweet mango flavors.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Smooth with a slight hint of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol. Enjoyable but pretty sweet with a combination of vanilla and mango that works really well.
