Haywire Twist Strawberry & Mango
Slack Tide Brewing Co.

Poured from fresh crowler into a pint glass. It pours a turbid, pastel yellow-tangerine color with a half finger of foamy, bright white head and creamy film of lacing. The nose is lemony and sour with subtle notes of mango and strawberry that increase as it warms in the glass. You can taste the strawberry more than than smell it but it blooms at the finish. There is also tart lemon, yeast and cracker. The mango is more subtle. It's only mildly sour and there's an acidic bitterness at the end. It has a thick, fluffy mouth feel with lively carbonation, and it's readily drinkable at 4.9% ABV. Overall, this is a pleasing warm weather cooler but I prefer the original variant conditioned on blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry.
