Fire Your Guns

Tap to rate

Ripe mango leads the nose, joined by subtle touches of wood from the barrel. On the palate the beer is fresh and balanced: the mango adds juiciness and a natural sweetness, and Carolina Reaper chili shows up at the end with a gradual, clean heat. The bitterness is medium and carries the fruit without dominating, the body is medium and the finish is slightly warm and spicy. The colour is light golden.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced mango juiciness and natural sweetness that frames the beer's entry beautifully. Medium bitterness carries the fruit through mid-palate without dominating. Carolina Reaper chili arrives gradually in the backend, building a clean, measured heat that lingers without harshness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
