Spinosaurus is a Mango IPA brewed with real mango and zero sour character. It's the first release in Urban Artifact's Dino line - a brand new series of clean, fruit-forward beers built for drinkers who want big fruit flavor without tartness or funk.
Hop-forward with a clean, dry finish and an unapologetic amount of real mango throughout. It drinks like a well-made craft IPA that happens to taste exactly like the fruit on the label - because it does. No extract. No flavoring. Real mango.

12 FL OZ can
Served in a perfect pint glass
This beer pours a murky orange hue. Chunks settle on the bottom of the glass. It is topped with a couple inches of tan head that leaves decent lacing.
Tart mango aroma. Underlying dankness.
Dank and fruity. The mango is there but doesn't overpower the hops.
Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel
Solid initial non-sour option from the good folks at Urban Artifact. I saw IPA on the can and was convinced it had to be a sour IPA. But, sure enough, it was an IPA from them.

Stepping away from their sour ways, Urban Artifact brewers instead embraced the hops for a spell. Hazy, fruity and smoothly bitter, these brewers aren't letting go of their fruits just yet.
Pale and matte, goldenrod and orange, Spinosaurus struggles with any meaningful froth but floods the nose with all-things mango. Certainly tropical, an undercurrent of citrus and stone fruit add to the fully fruited nose while a first sip seems nearly pastry-like with shortcake, cereal and sherbet sweetness. Hops add subtle flavors of orange, grapefruit, passionfruit and papaya, but it's the mango additions that dominate the session in a much milkshake way. Subtle bitterness tries to balance the session with little avail in the beer's waning moments.
For mango lovers, don't worry about the talk of IPA, this is a fruit bomb where the tropical acidity still shows as much influence as the bitterness does.
