Salted mangolicious
Barebottle Brewing Company

Love the salt addition. Takes the edge off what would have been an overly sweet NEIPA. Instead it balances well and leaves a good clean feeling on the tongue when it goes down. Quite enjoyable for me.

Very disappointed! This tastes like sea water with a light taste of beer. I will never drink this swill again! It’s terrible! Who concocted this terrible brew? They should stop now!

 

500ml bottle

Pours one finger of white head into a tulip. Hazy cream orange body. Visibility is zero. Carbonation looks about medium. Head retention is ok. Looks good so far.

Smells creamy, fruity, with small undertones of dankness. Oats come through nicely. Smells like a solid NEIPA. Very good nose.

Dank hops up front, more assertive than the nose. A little tart/salty, but not nearly as forward as a gose or anything like that. Fruity undertones. Very different than the nose, not creamy at all. Good tasting beer though, more dank than I would assume with 49 IBU's, aggressively dry hopped.

Carbonation is about medium, body is medium as well. Bitterness is relatively low, barely any lingers. Pretty safe mouthfeel for a beer with so many hops, but I guess that's normal for the style. Dry hop everything apparently. Good mouthfeel.

Drinkability is very high, no surprise there.

The appearance turned out ok, no lacing, but that could be the glass. Head was decent, body is what I would expect.

Overall this is a nice, clean beer. Nose is juicy, sweet, and creamy. Flavor is more dank, with a touch of that NE style. Overall a solid beer.

510ml bottle served in a big snifter. Bottled 01-17-18.

Pours a pale hazy golden with a medium sized head and a lot of carbonation just crawling through it. Smell is very nice. Definite mango. Very tropical. Lots of orange, too.

Taste is similar -- tropical, refreshing, delicious. Salt is there, noticeable, but not overpowering. Mostly mango.

Mouthfeel is thick, not sticky. This is a very good beer.

500ml bottle into a tulip appears hazy golden yellow with a white cap that fades leaving soapy lace all over the glass.

Aroma is fruity and enjoyable with some sulfur and mineral aspect, touch of grass.

Taste has a weird salinity before straw grain and mild fruited aspect thats pithy, pulpy and bitter with grassy to vegetable aspect.

Medium in body with modest carbonation. This is kinda bad. Not an enjoyable drink at all, the salinity mixed with mineral and vegetable aspect just doesnt play with the ipa theme.

 

The beer pours out a haze for days light golden orange color, with 1 finger of white head------------------ the aromas are of mango, salt and pineapple with lesser orange and grapefruit---------------- the flavors are of salted mangos, yeasty bubblegum, apricot and passion fruit with lesser vanilla, the beer has a full mouthfeel with a light bitterness on the finish---------------- overall this beer was delicious, it tasted like a salted mango---

 

Bottled 1/17/18, consumed 2/3/18.

Poured hazy light orange with very little head, decent lacing.

Aroma is bright but light, nice sweet mango.

Taste is zesty mango, smooth and somewhat pillowy, get that salty zing at the end.

Mouthfeel is medium, low but solid bitterness, easy drinkability.

Overall a nice hazy that's mangoes first.

 

 

Pint bottle into a tulip glass, pours a beautiful goldenrod color with a fingers worth of head, which did not retain long. The aroma is definitely mango, but slighly muted...Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy,flavor is mango followed by a slight piney bitterness, then the salt comes at the very end and...just the right amount. I was expecting something a bit sweeter, but this is still a great beer overall. There are 5 different hops in this, Falconers Flight,Mosaic,Citra,El Dorado, Motueka, along with mango and vanilla beans, made with Bay Area sea salt....pure joy!
