Senses Brewing

Elephanta is an expressive Wild Specialty Beer that reimagines the Mango Lassi through a complex craft lens. This collaboration with Alpha presents a vivid sensory profile defined by high-intensity aromas of succulent mango and a nuanced bouquet of spices. The wild fermentation introduces a refreshing lactic tartness that cuts through the fruit’s natural richness. As a Mango Lassi IPA hybrid, the hop character contributes bright citrus layers that complement the tropical fruit notes. The palate balances the acidity with a supple creaminess, leading to a complex, dry finish where the interplay of spices and wild yeast funk lingers delicately.

Appearance. Deep orange to golden hue (8–12 SRM). Opaque with a heavy haze from mango solids. White to off-white head with moderate to low retention and light lacing, typical of acidic styles.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by ripe, fleshy mango and a distinctive spicy character reminiscent of cardamom. Moderate lactic acidity provides a sharp counterpoint. Hop character is tropical and citrusy, with very low earthy wild yeast notes.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, clean tartness followed by dense mango pulp flavor. The mid-palate reveals herbal and savory spice notes. Hop bitterness is low-moderate, providing structure without clashing with the acidity. Fermentation character is puckering yet clean, finishing dry with a lingering fruit skin and spice aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a perceptible creaminess that mimics a lassi texture. Moderate carbonation. Low alcohol warmth. Crisp acidity provides a mouth-watering sensation without harsh astringency.
