Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Ghost of Mango's Past

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a delicate white head that settles quickly. Fine carbonation creates a lively, effervescent character. The color reflects the light beer's minimal Malz contribution and the dominance of fruit adjuncts.

◌ Aroma

Pronounced mango aromatics lead the nose, with ripe tropical stone fruit undertones. A mild lactic acid character supports the fruit without overpowering it. The overall impression is clean and refreshing, with minimal hop or Malz presence.

◐ Taste

Sharp sourness dominates the palate, balanced by bright mango fruit that arrives mid-palate and carries through. The dry finish undercuts any residual sweetness, leaving a tart, citrusy impression. Hop bitterness is subdued, allowing the fermented fruit character to speak clearly.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is dry and brief, with lingering tropical mango notes fading into a clean, slightly astringent dryness. Well-suited to immediate refreshment rather than prolonged contemplation.
