Double Mango
Hamilton Family Brewery

 

 

Pours a cloudy golden orange with a finger and a half of head that dissipates to a thin ring with some lacing. Aroma of mango and citrus. Taste follows nose.

 

 

Light mango aromatics on this with a touch of sweetness. Taste follows but only briefly, though...the mango gets quickly overwhelmed and forgotten about because of the heavy hit of IBUs. The bitterness is a bit overdone on this one IMO.

Nice copper orange pour. Smell is unremarkable, but it a good way- not what I expected. On palate it is a very clean IPa without much influence from the fruit. Mango is high in sugur, but they took care to make sure it stayed background and complimentary. Carbonation is ample leading to a clean finish in spite of the high abv.

 

Fresh mango you can taste. Nice golden color. Doesn’t drink like a typical 8.2.

Many thanks to SoCaliC8 for the chance to try this beer (in Crowler format).

The beer pours a light copper amber color with good head retention and lacing. The nose is pretty attractive in this beer, and sure enough, as the name implies, there's considerable mango and tropical fruit in the aroma profile. Also picking up some sweet orange citrus as well. The flavor profile replicates the nose pretty closely, with the sweet tropical fruit dominating. The sweetness is a bit more than I like to see in an IPA, though there's pretty good bitterness in the finish. Ultimately, it dries out the sweetness pretty well. Mouthfeel is fairly full in this beer, and the finish is long, with considerable tropical fruit and bitterness at the end. Alcohol is pretty well integrated into the flavor profile, though you can certainly tell it's up there a bit. There's a little bit of heat and bite from the alcohol in the finish that I felt hurt this beer's drinkability a bit. All that aside, this is still a pretty well crafted beer that it was a treat to sample.

Thanks Caitlin.

The beer pours a Clear gold and has a nice fluffy white heat that lasts. Has very little carbonation. Smells strongly of citrus and hops. There is also a nice sweetness coming from the smell of mangoes. You get a nice mango flavor in the beginning but then the citrus hops creates a nice bitter finish. Great beer.
