Town Hall Coconut Mango Mama IPA
Had on tap at the pub Tuesday night. Like a riddle wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a vest, it is the mango-infused version of Town Hall's famous Masala Mama IPA, aka Mango Mama, then stuffed,( or is smothered) with/in coconut.
Clouded orange appearance, little head on it.
Aroma: all coconut, fruit below, very little Masala in the Mama.
Taste: It all comes together, coconut, mango, then hops, but they are nowhere near as strong as in the earlier versions. Plenty of hoppitude lost after the coconut comes down. If you don't like coconut, you have no need to come near this one. If you love hops and are indifferent to coconut, still stay clear. The bitterness is gone in this one, masked by the other flavors.
Full-bodied, full-flavored, but not much more than a novelty beer. Can't see ever having more than one.
