Breckenridge Mango Mosaic

Aroma: “Big barely ripe mango character up front joined by peach, lemon, lime, and pineapple aromas, almost over the top. Finishes with a light cherry just shy of cough syrup and some dry straw notes.”

Flavor: “Bright citrus character carries through, but any malt character is covered up. Bitterness is spot on. A touch of phenol toward the end of the sip (not uncommon for mango beers) that goes into a fruity tart finish. Like a German stollen (holiday fruitcake)—layered bready malt and fruit notes.”

Overall: “Not sure if I could drink more than one, but I would love to drink a pint of this. Fresh and juicy, but you’re going to need to love mangoes.”
