🌍 United States · Mixed Fermentation Sour · One of 1 Mixed Fermentation Sours in hopIQ

Día de los Mangos Picoso is a mixed fermentation sour from Beachwood Brewing, the celebrated Long Beach, California craft institution. This sun-kissed ale pours a hazy golden-amber with a wispy white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma bursts with ripe tropical mango, layered over the tangy, barnyard funk characteristic of wild fermentation. On the palate, lush mango sweetness arrives first before bright lactic acidity cuts through, followed by a building chile heat that adds genuine complexity and warmth. The interplay between fruity sweetness, funky sourness, and spicy fire is remarkably well-balanced. The finish is long and pleasantly tingly, with lingering citrus peel and a dry, peppery warmth that invites another sip.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for DIA DE LOS MANGOS PICOSO

Appearance

A hazy golden-amber pour with excellent turbidity from wild fermentation and fruit adjuncts. The wispy white head dissipates quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the glass. Bright, sun-kissed clarity suggests active yeast and suspended solids rather than oxidation.

Aroma

The nose opens with vivid ripe mango, followed by the characteristic barnyard funk and vinous complexity of mixed fermentation. Underlying notes of citrus peel and subtle herbal spice emerge with aeration, adding dimension without overwhelming the dominant fruit character.

Taste

Entry arrives with lush mango sweetness before bright lactic acidity cuts through decisively. Mid-palate introduces a building chile heat that integrates with the fruit and funk rather than dominating. The balance between fruity sweetness, tangy sourness, and spicy warmth creates genuine complexity and intrigue.
