Mango & Hops
Wild Ohio Brewing Company

 

 

Had their regular mango and it's one of the worst beers I have every tasted, flat, soapy taste. Emailed them in great detail and got no . Don't buy

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 9/13/2018. Pours lightly hazy pale golden straw color with a thin white head with poor retention, that reduces to nothing pretty quickly, No lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy mangoes, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, honey, white sugar, black tea, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of mangoes, citrus/earthy hops, tea, and sugar notes; with big strength. Taste of big big juicy/tart/tangy mangoes, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, honey, white sugar, black tea, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, zesty, peppery tea/hop bitterness; and fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy mangoes, fruit skin, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, citrus peel/zest, peach, pear, apricot, melon, red apple, honey, white sugar, black tea, pepper, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of mangoes, citrus/earthy hops, tea, and sugar flavors; with a great malt/bitterness, and tart/tangy fruit balance; with zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and tart/tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/silky/syrupy, and fairly sticky/acidic/tangy mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 7.8%. Overall this is an excellent fruited gluten free beer. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of mangoes, citrus/earthy hops, tea, and sugar flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly bitter/tart/tangy/drying finish. Great balance of juicy mangoes, tea, and citrus/earthy Cascade hops; with balanced sugars. Light residual sweetness with lingering crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively well made style example as expected. No complaints.
