Science of Selling - Mango Milkshakes
Destination Unknown Beer Co.

Great tasting beer, medium thickness with great flavor and almost no bitterness. It is not fruity, just a great smooth beer

Served in a tulip glass from the can.

Appearance: cloudy orange based yellow color which comes almost completely Hazy bit not entirely opaque. Subtle white head which initially rose half one finger's length off the body.

Smell: floral and fruity aroma which dissipates quickly off the body.

Taste: Sweet complex yet bitter with deep bitterness. Floral enough to be bitter yet sweet enough to be with dinner or after.

Mouth: Dry yet super sticky. Touch sweet finish coming off like honey infused mango vanilla sundae.

Overall: Lusting this brew, true dessert without being overly bitter not too sweet.

Pours very ahzy/cloudy deep golden orange amber color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Thick foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy mangoes, tangerine, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, honeydew melon, guava, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, green pepper, peppercorn, pine, vanilla, cream, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops, mango, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt notes; with big strength.

Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy, sticky/resinous/rindy, and lightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that great.

All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/fairly earthy hops, mango, vanilla, lactose, and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy too drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish; nicely soft and not aggressive. Awesome Citra, Simcoe, Ekuanot profile. Very juicy/vibrant hops/fruit, with some dank/earthy notes; with a nice lactose and wheat/oat/malt backbone.

16oz canned 11-21-19. Opened 1-18-20.
2 finger dense white head with excellent retention. Fully opaque NEIPA with some solid particles and liquid substance in suspension within the beer. Lacing is thick and sticky.
Tropical mango, ripe. Some floral character apparent as well. Peaches and cream. Late green and weedy character in the aroma.
Mango, peach, cream, and a gritty malt in the finish that's out of place.
Full body and soft mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Tropical fruit in the medium length finish.
Good.

16oz can served in a tulip. No date. Gift from @mr-jj.

Pours hazy with a medium head, medium carbonation. Mostly amber in color. Smell is tropical juice. Smells great.

Taste is mango milkshake without too much sweetness. Reminds me a bit of a mango lassi. Bitter finish, though, which works nicely.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Overall, very nice beer.

 

 

 

Pours cloudy yellow color with a solid 2 finger white colored foamy head that was full of bubbles of all sizes while it crackled as it dissipated very slowly, leaving decent foamy rings.

Smells of orange peel, grapefruit, mango, graham cracker, sweet malt, caramel, lemon zest, candied sugar and tropical fruit. Underlying earthy notes show up late and seem like floral hop accents. I don't detect any of the lactose listed on the can, but this aroma hides the ABV perfectly.

Tastes like it smells with orange peel, grapefruit, lemon zest, mango, toasted grains, fruity candy like Skittles, graham cracker, faint pineapple, caramel, tropical fruit, tea leaf and light earthy spices. The finish resembles dry hopping or floral hop accents, and trails off super creamy and smooth which is where the lactose comes into play. Like the nose it hides the 7.2% ABV perfectly, and goes down easy with mild carbonation, a medium body and a perfect level of bitterness.

Tall can, I cant find any canning date info..."NEIPA brewed with mango and lactose"

Pour is fully hazed, fine bubble head, leaving low sheeting.

Pungent tropical fruit nose with some soapy mango noted.

Fruited up NEIPA, pineapple, bananas, mango, on the sweet side of the NEIPA spectrum....delicious and nicely crafted...go get some
