Summer Lihing Mango

Tap to rate

A tart sour ale inspired by a beach snack: fresh summer mango with li hing sprinkled on top, eaten on the way to check the surf. It meets you as a sour over the lips, then mango and li hing mui powder flavors come through. The brewery calls it a twist on those classic hanabata days; 5.4% ABV and 25 IBU.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Summer Lihing Mango

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, crystalline quality. The head forms quickly but settles to a thin, delicate collar with modest lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle effervescence throughout.

◌ Aroma

Fresh mango dominates the nose, delivering ripe stone-fruit character and tropical sweetness. Behind the fruit, a subtle tartness emerges, accompanied by hints of the li hing mui powder—a salty-sweet-umami note that adds complexity and recalls preserved plum undertones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced tartness across the lips, cutting through cleanly without harshness. Mango and li hing mui powder flavors develop in the mid-palate, creating a fruit-forward, slightly savory profile. Moderate residual sweetness balances the acidity, while low bitterness (25 IBU) remains restrained and integrates smoothly into the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with lingering tartness and a subtle mineral dryness. The li hing mui powder leaves a pleasant salty-sweet aftertaste that fades gently.
