Mango IPA

◎ Appearance

Hazy pale gold, turbid throughout with suspended yeast particles creating a characteristically cloudy appearance. The head is persistent and creamy, with good retention and fine lacing. Vigorous carbonation produces tight bubbles that rise steadily through the opaque body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit from Galaxy and Citra—mango flesh, passion fruit, and citrus zest—amplified by the fresh mango adjunct. Simcoe adds pine and subtle resinous notes beneath the fruit. Soft grain undertones from the barley, wheat, and oat base provide a gentle cereal sweetness without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is juicy and full-bodied, with mango pulp and citrus juice dominating the front palate. The mid-palate sustains the exotic fruit character while subtle hop bitterness (50 IBU) keeps the beer balanced rather than aggressive. Wheat and oats lend a smooth, silky mouthfeel that frames the fruit-forward profile without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

Medium finish with fruit and citrus lingering gently on the palate. Residual mango sweetness fades gradually, leaving a light hop dryness and inviting drinkability.
