Beer Bastards Brewing

Ice Cream Mafia is a vibrant and tropical take on the traditional Gose, delivering a lush, dessert-inspired experience. A foundational grain bill of Pilsner and wheat malts provides a soft, bready canvas for a massive infusion of Mango, Passionfruit, Melon, and Guava. The sensory profile is defined by a bright, lactic tartness and a subtle salinity that heightens the succulent tropical fruit character. While the "ice cream" moniker suggests a creamy, rounded mouthfeel, the beer remains exceptionally refreshing with an effervescent finish. The interplay of exotic fruit sweetness and the classic saline-citrus coriander notes creates a complex, thirst-quenching balance.

Appearance. 3-5 SRM; vibrant yellow to light orange-gold; moderate to tall white head with good retention and tight bubbles; persistent haze with an unfiltered, semi-opaque appearance.

Aroma. High intensity fruit-forward aroma dominated by ripe mango and tangy passionfruit; secondary notes of floral guava and sweet melon; moderate lactic sourness; light doughy wheat malt and a faint, citrusy coriander spice.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, refreshing tartness paired with an explosion of tropical fruit flavor. Strong mango and passionfruit are balanced by a mid-palate of melon and guava. Moderate bready wheat malt supports the fruit. Very low bitterness with no hop flavor. Light salt character is noticeable but restrained, providing a mouthwatering finish that is dry and clean with lingering acidity.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a rounded, creamy texture; high carbonation providing an effervescent, tingly quality; no alcohol warmth; low astringency with a mouthwatering saline effect.
