COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Are you ready to CRUSH it this summer?! The second beer in our 2022 Off-Centered Art Series has arrived! Mandarin & Mango Crush is a citrus-forward fruit beer brewed with boatloads of tart mandarin oranges and juicy Alphonso mangoes. With roots deep in coastal Delaware, the Crush cocktail has long been a go-to summer sippers for locals, and we’re thrilled to have recreated an iconic beach-town libation in the form of a craft beer. Clocking in at 6.0% ABV, our Mandarin & Mango Crush is a lightly sweet, hazy gold-colored brew that boasts a refreshing, citrusy tartness and a crisp, dry finish for a sip of summer in every bottle. Featuring artwork by Max Mahn, Mandarin & Mango Crush is a beer-centric reimagining of the beloved coastal “Crush” cocktail, which is a simple combination of spirits and freshly-pressed juice obtained by ‘crush’-ing the fruit with a hand-powered press. Max brings this vision to life with a warm and lively label artwork containing a classic citrus juicer surrounded by fresh fruits, providing drinkers the opportunity to imaginatively taste the beer before cracking open a bottle.

UPDATED: MAR 26, 2024 Pours very hazy with an aroma full of mangoes and oranges. The sweet and lightly tart flavor bursts with mangoes and oranges. It’s exactly as advertised and pretty well done.
3.2
UPDATED: AUG 27, 2023 12oz can. Big candy extract aroma. Has more in common with Crush soda than a beer. Thin bodied, no real malt tones. All about the flavoring...big mandarin orange tone, lesser mango. An OKish fruit beer I guess, not one I'd revisit.

3.5
UPDATED: JUL 24, 2023 draft at the source in milton. in retrospect, pretty forgettable, but i seem to recall it being very easy drinking, so bonus points on a hot day.
4.3
UPDATED: JUL 20, 2023 Mandarin & Mango Crush has a medium, fizzing-away head and a translucent, yellow-orange appearance, with bubbles, but no lacing. The aroma is of fruits and a malt base. The flavor is similar, with no bitterness and measured sweetness. Mandarin & Mango Crush has a medium body and a mostly-dry finish. RJT
3.7
UPDATED: JUL 7, 2023 Gold pour, some haze, thin head. Nose is fruity. Middle shows thin mango, orange, light kilned malt. Finish is citrusy and light. Refreshing.
3.3
UPDATED: MAY 29, 2023 Draft at Strangeloves. Murky gold pour with not much head. No lace. Satsumas and mango. Fruity sour but not overpowered with the billed ingredients. Fainter lemon, pineapple, and guava. Juicy and full.
3.1
UPDATED: MAY 8, 2023 Tap. Light hay for the malt, no noticeable hops, light dough for the yeast, with mango and tangerine in the background. Head is small, fizzy, white, with no lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is medium murky amber/yellow. Flavor starts faintly sweet and moderately acidic and sour, then finishes slightly bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery, with a fizzy carbonation. Easy drinking, but nothing outstanding in this Fruit Beer.
3.2
UPDATED: APR 29, 2023 Philadelphia barcade: yellowish with white head. Fruity aroma: mandarin orange and the like. Taste is lightly sour, slightly sweet. Fine.
3.2
UPDATED: APR 29, 2023 On tap at Philadelphia Barcade. Pours hazy orange. Mandarin, orange, lemon, esters. Medium body. Fine.
