Flamango

Tap to rate

Hazy, session-strength tropical pale ale at just 3.4%, brewed with an addition of mango. Citra and Talus hops carry the beer, and the juicy mango pushes the fruit further into tropical territory. Unusually light for a pale ale with this much fruit; on record since August 2023 and listed in the brewery's current range.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Flamango

◎ Appearance

Flamango presents a hazy golden-orange body with soft, diffuse clarity—characteristic of the style and allowing the suspended yeast to catch the light. A modest white head forms and dissipates gradually, leaving thin, delicate lacing on the glass. The beer displays lively carbonation typical of a session ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus and stone fruit notes from Citra and Talus hops, immediately joined by ripe mango flesh—juicy, fresh, and generous without cloying. Beneath the fruit sits a gentle, rounded malt base with faint biscuit undertones. The aromatic profile feels open and inviting, with no sharp edges or rough fermentation character.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and fruit-forward; mango sweetness and tangerine notes arrive immediately on the palate. The mid-palate balances restrained body with genuine fruit depth—the mango pushes through without the heaviness one might expect from a fruit adjunct. Bitterness is gentle and controlled at 40 IBU, settling into a dry, slightly herbaceous finish that keeps the beer refreshing.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and short, fading to a dry, subtle herbal note. Residual mango lingers briefly before dissolving into refreshing dryness, leaving no cloying sweetness behind.
