Mango Habanero Pale Ale
Zeroday Brewing Co.

 

 

 

Too hot for me

Tall can, w/o dating info that I find.

Nice looking brew, darker amber, hazed and murky, medium sized and long lasting cap. Leaves coating sheeting all around the glass.

Quite a bit of peppers character on the sniff.

Complex brew, with a medium pepper note, moderate heat, limited mango qualities.

Tasty and enjoyable.....as a "chili head" kinda guy, I love this kind of brew. A bit more heat would be to my liking. But this one would surely be nice for a chili beer newbie and many others. Worth a try.

 

 

 

 

From a crowler I picked up over 1 month ago - light pop on the opening and the pour provides plenty of head, score one for crowler...

Poured into a chalice, color is copper, transparent, minor effervescence, head is bright white and lingers very well.

Aroma is neutral, very feint creaminess, maybe biscuit - not bad just not much there.

Taste is malty/bready at first, then light mango sweetness, then as it warms the habanero appears and burns slowly - more burning down the throat than in the mouth, but also some lip burning as well. Qualities are very good for a few months from freshness, again score one for the crowler.

Mouthfeel is moderately carbonated and then a biting burn from the habanero, which lingers inside the mouth and on the lips.

Overall a interesting beer with a moderate pleasant maltiness, minor mango presence and very solid habenero burn. From the aged crowler it tastes a bit different than on site but the intent is still there - try to balance the heat with some sweetness.

Pretty good. Light bodied and not a ton of hops or bitter. The mango is subtle and is so is the habanero.

 

 

 

I was a bit apprehensive at first when I ordered this with a flight of samples but was pleasantly surprised. First few sips I couldn't detect much heat but then it gradually built up the more I had.
