Funky Fluid

This Wild Specialty Beer is a decadent, extreme interpretation of an ice cream sour, drawing sensory inspiration from Thai mango sticky rice. Dominated by a massive addition of over 40% juicy mango, the profile is intensely tropical and saturated. A splash of coconut provides a velvety, creamy layer that complements the thick, 30 Plato base. The aromatic profile is a concentrated burst of ripe stone fruit and coconut milk, balanced by a sharp, clean lactic acidity. It drinks like a lush beer smoothie, where the dense sweetness of the fruit is supported by a full, viscous body and a refreshing, tart finish.

Appearance. Opaque and thick, resembling fruit nectar; deep, saturated golden-orange color. Pours with a dense, creamy, yellowish head that dissipates quickly due to high fruit sugar content; minimal lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; immediate and explosive fresh mango puree. Secondary notes of rich coconut cream and sweet vanilla. A clean, sharp lactic sourness provides a bright counterpoint to the sugary fruit. No detectable hop aroma or malt-derived toastiness.

Taste. Initial impression is an intense wave of sweet, ripe mango. Mid-palate introduces creamy coconut and a subtle starchiness. Bitterness is non-existent. Fermentation character is clean but distinctly acidic, providing a necessary foil to the heavy fruit density. The finish is lingering and fruity, balancing dessert-like sweetness with a refreshing lactic tang.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied, viscous, and smoothie-like; significant weight on the tongue. Carbonation is moderate to low, tailored to enhance the creamy texture. Alcohol warmth is well-integrated at 8% ABV, providing a subtle, smoothing glow without harshness.
