Summer Beer XXXX Mango

Something new on the market
In the past week Tasmania has had all kinds of weather, from nice hot days, to windy times, at one stage it was even hailing. Apparently Summer is on the way as breweries are starting to come up with their Summer range of products.

XXXX have been quick off the line to release XXXX Summer Bright Lager with Mango, I give credit to breweries who like to experiment and since I liked Matso’s Mango Beer from Broome I wanted to see what this one was capable of.

The beer on first smell has the obvious hint of mango, on first taste you get the mango, you get the beer… but it doesn’t go down well…

Summer fruit

I didn’t give up at first but getting three quarters of the way down the stubby I started to feel sick.

The sink got the rest as I gave up… I wonder if they tested the product before they started selling it?

I was disappointed with the XXXX version, the two flavours didn’t complement each other very well.

Luckily Matso’s have a good quality mango beer that I highly recommend if you like to try different things.

Real Mango Beer, highly recommended!

I’m on the search for my summer beer for 2016/7, I’ll keep you posted on what I see out there.

Cheers,


Dave
How I want to spend my summer...
