Inbound Mango Hibiscus Saison Petal Pounder.
5.5 %ABV, 20 IBU. Inbound BrewCo, Minneapolis, MN.
I've had a Petal Pounder Saison from Inbound before, but it wasn't with mango & hibiscus. Just hibiscus. Looks like it's time for a new review.
Clear, bright crimson color, large white head that shifts down in an instant.
In the nose: Clean. Fruity. Mango and hibiscus, huh? Getting more of the latter than the former, so far. And none of the normal saison notes.
In the mouth: Starts out crisp and fruity, then takes a turn for the tart. I'm not sure what mango is up to, but it's being upstaged by hibiscus. Light bodied, easy-drinking, refreshing. Sweet and floral. I kind of like this. You can't pick up any saison flavors, but that's okay. They serve as the base for the hibiscus and some small shred of mango. Even if you can't taste the mango, I feel that it's doing it's job, holding the hibiscus back just a bit.
A fresh and floral saison brewed with a pounder's worth of real hibiscus petals plus juicy mango. Built for a season of pedals and petals.
