Mango Goseface Killah
Aurora Brewing Co.

Pours a milky puppy yellow. Heavy foam she thick. Light mango aroma. Big mango juice body. Tart with a bitter sea salt finish. Thick but very drinkable. A must try if you like this style.

 

 

Like mango? Like juice? Like sours? Like pulp?

Then you'll love this.

This looked like juice, felt like juice, tasted liked juice, and was as smooth as juice but ultimately, this was a beer through and through. The fermentation took a while to be fully felt but it only made me appreciate this that much more as it enhanced everything else that this had to offer.

Indeed, this looked like mango juice as it was dark, orange, and dank with quite the fresh-squeezed look to it. A ton of orange whip topped it off as it looked like lemon meringue pie. Mango, guava, and exotic tropical fruit were in the nose as a ton of the sea salt, coriander, and a coconut-like grittiness came through on the palate. Pure, pulpy juice was in full force here with the sour aspect of this beer taking a back seat. Plenty sticky and lightly carbonated, this needed a chaser of water at the end, but like anything lovingly intense, I still wanted more once I finished this off!

Part of that had to do with the low alcoholic presence of this, as it only enhanced the juice aspect that much more. Dated 9/17 on the bottom of the can, this held up well as my only beef with this was the lack of legibility on the can. Gold on orange is not a good look and it was difficult to read what was on the label. Besides that, this was a killah of a beer that I'd reach for again - even if I can't discern what Aurora is trying to convey...
