Mango OTP
Gate City Brewing Co.

A: Pours a relatively clear medium golden orange in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate apricot + bright orange + burnt orange + peach + pale golden yellow + bright yellow colored highlights. The beer has a four finger tall creamy sudsy foamy off-white head that slowly reduces to a medium to large sized patch of thick film covering approximately 50% of the surface of the beer surrounded by a large patch of mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Light to moderate amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of tropical/mango over the top of moderate aromas of citrus/orange + citrus/tangerine + citrus/grapefruit pith + citrus/orange peel + dank hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of biscuit + caramel malts with a moderate amount of sugary sweetness.

T: Upfront there are light to moderate flavors of biscuit + caramel malts with a moderate amount of sugary sweetness. That is followed by slightly stronger than moderate flavors of tropical/mango. Finally there are moderate flavors of citrus/orange + citrus/tangerine + citrus/grapefruit pith + citrus/orange peel + dank hops which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which lingers for a light to moderate amount of time.

M: Medium bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Crisp.

O: Drinks pretty easily with well hidden alcohol but a little over-carbonated in the mouthfeel. Enjoyable flavors and aromas of mango + citrus and dank hops with a little more sweetness than expected in an Imperial IPA.
