Mangonada
Alvarado Street Brewery

 

 

This beer is delicious. I opened it as a mystery can - no idea of the contents. It gave off a whiff of tropical fruit, light but unmistakable. The day I drank it was hot and muggy, so my first taste was a big one. Very refreshing for the heat & humidity,so I took another cold gulp, even better than the first. Mango puree was noticeable and appreciated. Light, not cloying, with just a hint of carbonization. Wish I had a 4 pak to myself! It's a winner in my book.

 

16oz can, served in a snifter glass. Pours a slightly cloudy golden orange body, one finger white head, short retention and no lacing. Smell is wheat, light lemon, mild lactic acidity, dry mango and tropical fruit sweetness. Flavour is a really nice combination of mild lactic acid, lemon and mango. The mango fruit sweetness is not subtle but it is not dominant either. It's a very smooth and exotic flavour. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, good carbonation, lots of mango flavours lingering on the finish, light lactic acid. Overall, a really nice mango sour beer, I really enjoyed this one and would love to come across more of this one as a more frequent drinker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Delicious! It's a kettle sour and definitely finishes like that; has a great upfront fruity taste. You can tell there is mango purée in here. I am counting this as a serving of fruit in my diet.
