Lift Bridge Mango Blonde. 4.75 % ABV. 15 IBU. Lift Bridge Brewing, Stillwater, MN.
It seems odd, but this is my first time with a can of this beer. Never got a sample before, never bought it in the store, and yet I've had it on tap at Acadia every year since it's release. I must've simply decided that it sounded good, and tried it out on that basis. At last, my chance to enter it here, and, as they say on the can, "Put your mango where your mouth is", whatever that means.
Clear, bright golden color, sizable, lace-leaving, lasting ivory head.
In the nose: Sweetness and malt. Mango's all over this. Nice and fruity.
In the mouth: More sweet and fruity, terribly tasty, with a judicious jolt of hops. Light bodied, clean, lean, and ever-so serene.
If you want an easy-drinker that tastes of mango, look no further.
This beer is a limited release experience of summer coming. The aroma of a tropical breeze from a fresh mango grove leads into a light bodied blonde ale, finishing with a subtle mango sweetness that does not overpower the golden malt.
I took the above from the entry on Untappd. Clearly, this was a hit from it's first release four years ago, and is no longer limited. The description on their website is exactly the same, though.
