Blue Moon Mango Wheat

Tap to rate

A wheat beer brewed with mango and a touch of honey on a light, biscuity malt base. It pours a hazy yellow-orange with a white head. Ripe mango dominates the nose, joined by sweet citrus and a hint of peach. On the palate the fruit is less sweet than the aroma suggests; biscuit malt and a grainy wheat character carry it, and a mild hop bitterness cleans up the finish. The body is medium-light, the carbonation moderate.

◐ Taste

The palate reveals a more restrained fruit sweetness than the aroma suggests, with biscuity malt and grainy wheat character providing structure and body. A mild hop bitterness emerges in the mid-palate, offering balance and preventing the beer from becoming flat. The interplay between fruit and malt remains cohesive throughout.
