Brewer Description: (from bottle) It is said that your first born will always carry a special place in your heart. As our first beer ever, Mangofeber has conquered tastebuds male and female, old and young, national and foreign. While we admit to always evolving this beer, our sole intent is to fine tune our tropical darling, making it a worthy tribute to everyone that has supported us from the very beginning. Fruits off to you, mates!

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 21st May 2019, ‘B61 goa’. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy dark orange (mango juice) colour, with a two finger white head that had decent retention and left some lacing.
Aroma: Mango, citrus rind and peel, pineapple, grass with a light dankness.
Taste: Mango, mandarin, orange rind with a light bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: A juicy DIPA with well hidden alcohol that is nice and easy to drink. Much better than its Session IPA counterpart in my opinion.

Brewski Three Fourteen IPA

Brewery: Brewski
Country: Sweden
ABV: 5.9%
Style: American IPA
Other Notes: India Pale Ale. Keep it real!

Brewer Description: (from bottle) There are lots of stories out there about how things came to exist. Some claim a long, long time ago a dude named Adam was breathed into life, eventually met a chick called Eve, there was a devious serpent involved at some point, sinning became a thing and we were cursed by our creator after eating hops from a tree. We are not sure that’s entirely accurate, but we do like the idea of making things from scratch, blowing air on them and chewing from the hop-tree of life. And if drinking this fruity IPA is questionably sinful, we promise not to hold it against you.
