This double-fruited take on a Berliner Weisse offers an intense explosion of tropical sensory cues. A massive infusion of Mango dominates the profile, presenting as succulent, sun-ripened fruit nectar. The underlying base beer provides a sharp, clean lactic acidity that cuts through the fruit's natural sweetness, while a subtle doughy wheat malt backbone anchors the experience. Effervescent and refreshing, it balances the plush texture of the mango puree against a crisp, tart finish. The result is a vibrant, deeply aromatic sour ale that celebrates the bright synergy between stone fruit and fermentation-driven acidity.
Appearance.Deep yellow to vibrant orange-gold (5-7 SRM), mirroring a ripe mango. The beer is notably hazy to opaque due to the heavy fruit load. It pours with a white to off-white, dense head that dissipates relatively quickly, leaving minimal lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatic profile. Dominant notes of fresh, pulpy mango and tropical fruit puree lead the way. Behind the fruit is a moderately sharp lactic sourness, reminiscent of lemon zest and tart green apples. A very light, doughy wheat character is present, with no detectable hop aroma.
Taste.The initial impression is a burst of tart mango juice. A clean, sharp lactic sourness provides the primary balance, keeping the double fruited character from becoming cloying. Malt flavors are low but suggest raw bread dough or sourdough. Bitterness is undetectable. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, with a lingering, tangy mango aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body, feeling slightly more substantial than a traditional Berliner Weisse due to the fruit solids. High carbonation provides a prickly, effervescent scrub on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is negligible. Crisp acidity creates a mouth-watering sensation.
