This vibrant Wild Specialty Beer showcases the lush, tropical character of organic mango against a crisp, lactic backdrop. The aroma is dominated by ripe mango flesh and a bright, citrusy zing from the house lactic acid culture. On the palate, a clean, refreshing tartness immediately cleanses the tongue, followed by layers of succulent stone fruit and tropical esters. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, emphasizing the fruit's natural acidity without the weight of residual sugar. It is a finely balanced sour that prioritizes sensory freshness and a lively fermentation profile, making it exceptionally approachable and revitalizing.

Appearance. Ranges from pale gold to a hazy, saturated yellow-orange (SRM 4-7). The white head is moderately frothy but tends to dissipate quickly due to the low pH, leaving minimal lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh organic mango, suggesting tropical sweetness and light resin. A clean, sharp lactic sourness provides a bright counterpoint. Yeast-derived esters are subtle, leaning toward apricot. No hop aroma or malt-derived sweetness is present.

Taste. Sharp, clean lactic acidity leads the profile, followed immediately by authentic mango flavors. The fruit character is evocative of fresh fruit rather than syrup, as fermentation has stripped away the sweetness, leaving a dry, tart impression. Hop bitterness is negligible. The finish is crisp and short with a lingering tropical tang.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that enhances the perceived acidity. Very low alcohol warmth at 4.5% ABV. No astringency, though it possesses a light, refreshing puckering sensation.
