This collaborative Wild Specialty Beer presents a vibrant sensory interplay of tropical fruit and garden herbs. Dominated by the lush, fleshy aroma of mango purée, the profile is immediately lifted by the bright, zesty fragrance of lemon zest. The primary sourness is exceptionally clean, providing a sharp canvas for the mango’s natural fruitiness. On the palate, a distinct herbal cooling sensation from apple mint emerges, elegantly tempering the lactic acidity and adding a refreshing dimension. Despite the low alcohol content, the mango purée lends a soft, rounded texture that transitions into a crisp, citrus-forward finish defined by lingering minty freshness.

Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a soft, slightly creamy texture from the fruit purée. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle. No alcohol warmth; very refreshing.
