MANGROve Pale Ale
Oyster City Brewing Company

 

 

Deep copper in color with an off white head. Nose is very sweet and full on mangos. Taste is sweet and more peach than mango to me. Has a slight bitterness on back of palate.

 

Taking in the rays by those Florida beaches doesn't mean that a default to bland and flimsy light lager is a necessity. Oyster City brings a brisk, clean and refreshing pale choice to hop loving beach bums.

Pouring between golden and straw, Mangrove Pale Ale drifts across the nose with hints of honey and caramel with an overcast of tropical fruit and complementing citrus and herb. Sweeter in its early taste, the session kicks off with those caramel, honey and graham cracker impressions.

As the medium malty ale washes the middle palate, its sweeter grip begins to stray while the hops bring a balance of grapefruit, orange peel and apricot. But the stronger taste of mango slowly starts to dominate the fruitiness while still remaining firmly in the realm of strong pale ale. Trending pleasantly bitter with citrus peel and tropical fruit rind, a late turn to herbal flavors reveal light hemp, pine and fresh-cut grasses.

Medium bodied and drinking much easier than its alcohol content suggests, Mangrove is a deceptively smooth, playfully herbal and fruity session meant for warm weather and water.

 

 

 

 

 

Has a very strong and delightful fruity smell, tastes like mango, maybe a bit of an overly “alcohol” taste. The alc/vol is great, but with that price, it’s a one and done purchase for me.

Look: light golden yellow, slightly hazy, loads of rising bubbles. Off white head that recedes to a slight cap, messy lacing that doesn’t stick around.
Smell: subtle bright citrus.
Taste: like the nose with a touch of malt.

IT poured a cooper color with a nice white head, The smell and taste is very fruity ( mango) mainly, with a small bite of hops at the end that lingers on your taste buds, It is a very easy drinking fruity beer, very refreshing on a warm summer afternoon. It is worth a try , not what some may like but still better than average.

 

 

 

Copper colored with a light haziness. There’s a fingernail of off white around the rim and covering two thirds of the top. The aroma is of a light touch of mango. I’m tasting somewhat artificial but not overwhelming mango. There’s a light burning sensation to the tongue and it is otherwise mildly carbonated.
