DIA DE LOS MANGOS

◎ Appearance

Pours a hazy golden-amber with luminous clarity beneath the surface, characteristic of mixed fermentation work. A soft white head forms quickly but recedes fast, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. The body shows gentle carbonation, with a pleasant visual liveliness despite the delicate foam structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe mango and sun-warmed stone fruit, immediately conveying the tropical character. Beneath sits an earthy, subtly funky barnyard note—the signature of mixed fermentation cultures working in harmony. Delicate citrus peel and a whisper of wild yeast complexity round out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and fruity, with lush mango sweetness meeting immediate vibrant acidity. The mid-palate reveals layered complexity: brett-driven earthiness weaves through citrus notes, while the moderate tartness remains refreshing rather than harsh. Body is medium and clean, allowing the interplay of fruit and fermentation character to shine without heaviness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and decisively dry, shedding the sweetness to reveal pleasant sourness. Tropical fruitiness lingers gently, leaving a balanced aftertaste that invites the next sip.

Serve at 6–9°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
