Damn Ross! Every time I try to pass up another Bacchus brew he, being the mad scientist that he is, throws out another clever pun-named brew of brilliance! This time Ross has named one of his beers after one of my favourite Tarantino films: Django Unchained. Dmango Unstrained is a New England style IPA (NEIPA) with mangoes used in the brew, and the thing that struck me immediately was how cloudy the beer looked through the brown glass of the bottle - it’s going to be murky AF, and that to me is a definite green light when it comes to this style. Can it beat out my favourite Bacchus NEIPA: JAF IPA? Well, being that I love mangoes (they’re like my #2 favourite fruit after watermelon), it’s in with a damn good chance!
Poured from a 500ml bottle into a nonic pint.
A: Wow! This has to be the murkiest pale beer I’ve ever seen, it’s like the pale version of a Stout. The body is totally opaque (no light coming through from the other side) mango juice coloured with a thin white head that dissipates rather quickly leaving a thin ring in the glass. This essentially looks like juice hey. 8/10.
S: Fresh green and ripe mangoes with a pervading note of green papaya and a green hop character in the finish. If this was a West Coast IPA I would be expecting a truckload of bitterness coming my way, however being this is a NEIPA it should be quite balanced in the flavour. This aroma is great though, very very green, and tropical, fantastic. 9/10.
T: Thick and soupy from the get-go. Mango with green papaya, grassy green hop backend, herbal as well, touch of Vietnamese mint (which is more spicy than mint). Where you would normally expect to find a malt base it has taken on a mango juice vibe, this is almost like a concoction of mango juice with hop tea - it finishes with a mid to low bitterness but then you get that sharp green hop character in the aftertaste. It’s an interesting mix between a beer and juice... beuice! 7/10.
M: Mid to heavy with a cloying juice-like consistency and a medium carbonation, which due to the green hop character takes on a sharpness. 7/10.
D: TBH I think this might be Ross’s ‘bridge too far’, and he’s done some crazy stuff over the years (King Of Denmark being my current favourite craziest thing he’s done). I picture some Bacchus brewers (in suits) sitting in a boardroom going “beer and juice, it can’t be done!” and Ross quietly nodding to himself. Still it is rather tasty, it’s just a bit of a line blurrer. 7/10.
Food match: If ever there is a beer that deserves green papaya salad this is it.
