650ml bottle. Made with wheat, and well, mango. The label imagery somehow evokes AB-I's Shock Top branding.
This beer pours a cloudy, murky medium apricot (ok, maybe mango) amber hue, with three fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some random splattered lace around the glass as things evenly subside.
It smells of musty, somewhat overripe mango flesh, gritty, and vaguely spicy wheat malt, white pepper, and a further touch of banana chip and orange cream fruitiness. The taste is more kind of edgy tropical fruit - mango, principally, but with some additional papaya and passionfruit notes - semi-sweet, mildly grainy wheat, hints of coriander and blood orange, and weak earthy, leafy hops.
The carbonation comes across as nice and easy, nothing particularly peppy at this juncture, the body just on the light side of medium weight, and plainly smooth, the mango seemingly aiding and abetting. It finishes off-dry, the lingering mango-led mixed bag of fruitiness more or less capturing the virtual flag.
A simple, sweet and not so sassy wheat ale, selling its soul to the guest ingredient, to our collective benefit. Tasty enough, the fruitiness coming to dominate, and a pleasant diversion whilst watching the so-far interesting 3rd place World Cup match right now - and not on the patio on which I would otherwise suggest imbibing this - cold and often.
