Big Mango Beer Hug

◎ Appearance

Medium golden hue with a SRM of 9 suggests a bright, warm amber tone. The beer presents clear to slightly hazy clarity, allowing light to shine through. A thick, creamy head forms on the pour and maintains good retention, with fine lacing clinging to the glass as you drink.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with prominent mango and tropical stone fruit, supported by the Idaho 7 hop character. Beneath the fruit sits a gentle malt sweetness, warm and inviting. A subtle citrus undertone and light herbal notes round out the bouquet without overwhelming the dominant fruit-forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with luscious mango and juicy tropical notes that build through the mid-palate. A balanced sweetness frames the hops without becoming cloying, while measured bitterness (80 IBU) provides structure and complexity. At 9.9% ABV, the alcohol is present but integrated, lending warmth and body to each sip.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry to off-dry, with lingering tropical and citrus notes that encourage another reach for the glass. A gentle bitter aftertaste persists, keeping the palate engaged without harshness.
