Surly Mango Axe Man IPA.
7.2 % ABV, 65 IBU, Surly Brewing, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Bright orange, mostly clear, lasting ivory head.
In the nose: bold and vibrant, bright and beautiful. Fresh fruit galore!
In the mouth: Juicy and fruity from the start, with bitterness creeping in. Axe Man is down here, with mango hanging over. Me, I’d like a little Ed’s of the mango and more of the IPA. It’s not too sweet, just getting in the way.
I think this doesn’t have enough mango, and it would still be too much for me. This bitterness is there, I’d just prefer it without the fruit.
The already-intense tropical fruit, berry, and citrus profile of Axe Man gets amplified with a mango addition.
