Subsurface: Mango
Hitchhiker Brewing Company

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a solid mango orange hue with a thin head. Looks like a smoothie.

S - Aromas of mango pulp and the turpentine skin. Almost salty with a weird acid. Smells like the Southeast Asia docks; like you're scraping off a half eaten mango left out in the sun while trying to figure out how to contact the American Consulate after your passport, phone, and wallet have been stolen.

T - Taste is similar to the nose, super raw bread dough that's been soaked in mango juice. Spoiled milk too.

M - Mouthfeel is barely carbonated, sits heavy on the tongue.

O - Overall this was a really underwhelming beer. Just a travesty of a beverage.

Serving Type: can

NO can date
Pours different into the two glasses, first was a bit hazy, second was all solid mango-orange color, no head on either, legs left on the glass are basically like pulp fruit juice sediment, and it settles quickly like a beer I poured from the kettle that just had hop particulate settle

Nose is basically mango pulp, puree of fruit, but also a weird lactic acid that cuts through, an almost like burnt hair and seaweed note, no idea where that comes from, wtf?!,

Taste again very tart but weird acidity, loads of mango puree but rind and weird old mango, but also like raw pizza dough and paper, bitter tannins, lactose and milk, fermented milk, just horrible

Mouth is thick chewy pulpy messy, and no carbonation

Overall this was terrible, about everything wrong you can do in a beer is here, except for all the off flavors, just process was terrible and idea was terrible, and I know this brewery does some good beers cause I've been there, so WTF!
