Mango Smoothie Sour

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity, revealing the beer's transparency. The head forms quickly and holds with moderate persistence, building fine lacing on the glass. Carbonation appears restrained, appropriate to the style's soft mouthfeel.

◌ Aroma

Ripe mango dominates the nose, conveying juicy stone fruit and tropical sweetness without cloying. Beneath lies a subtle tartness that signals the sour character, while the 8% ABV sits warm but integrated in the background. No adjunct harshness; the purity of 500 kg of mango puree speaks clearly.

◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate tropical fruitiness paired with a clean, natural tartness that moves through the mid-palate. The beer carries considerable weight despite its clarity—full-bodied and tactile, with residual sugars kept low to let the sour notes flourish. Bitterness remains subdued (10 IBU); the alcohol warmth builds gradually without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish persists with lingering tartness and a subtle dry edge, though the fruit character fades gently rather than abruptly. A slight warming from the 8% ABV remains on the palate without becoming aggressive.
