Lolly- Mango Lassi IPA
Left Field Brewery

 

Really hazy, milky peach color with off-white head. Aroma has unripe fruits like apples and pears with light mint notes. Taste has sweet fruit notes, mostly citrusy, like sweet lemon and lime. Medium bitterness on the finish. Medium body with soft carbonation and some astringent mango notes on the finish. Really nice one and easy drinking in spite of the burn.

 

 

 

A novelty IPA with smooth mango and a standup hop and cardamon finish. Spiked punch more than a beer taste, a fuller version of their session day game fruit versions. Should be good with a spicy food meal, otherwise cardamon just much for our British inspired palate.

A "milkshake" style done as a mango lassi: lactose, mango and cardamom. The cardamom is very strong, by far the most dominant flavour. Mango there but a bit reduced. The mix of the cardamom and hopping largely offsets the sweetness, doesn't come across as particularly sweet. In terms of imitation, they nailed the nose- really does smell like the real thing. As an experiment, excellent. As a beer to drink, pretty good, but spices are too strong.
