Floris Mango

Brewed by Brouwerij Huyghe
Style: Fruit Beer
Melle, Belgium

Serve in Flute

Light amber coloured beer with no carbonation and just a small white head. Rather distinct aroma, sweet mango hints. Medium fruity palate. Finish is sweet hinted with a slight mango touch and a longer sweeter ending. Sweet however not as sweet as I would assumed from mango. Easy drinkable when cold, but not always enjoyable.

Bottle. 3.6%. Slightly hazy golden-orange. Aroma of mango, somewhat artificial, and a bit of sugar. Sweet mango flavor with sugar and light sourish hints, mostly towards the finish. Light-bodied. Actually more drinkable than expected.

A log more mango beers than I would have guessed. Bottle. Almost no head on pale amber. Smell of sugar and fruit which I guess could be mango. Too sweet to really taste the mango. Hard to tell its even beer. My wife like it.

Pours orange with a nice head, aroma and flavor of mango sweets and some sweetener, light bodied, bad

Bottle, small stable head, hazy light orange colour, aroma of tropical fruits and spice, sweet fruity flavour with just light hints of bitterness and sourness. Too much like a soft drink and not like a beer.

Bottle from Wellington Arms, Bedford. Hazy copper. Fruity aroma of peach and mango. Taste was quite a lot better than I thought it would be. It avoids cloying sweetness, and even has a trace of dryness in the fruity taste. Drinkable.

18 May 2011, bottle. pale peach, faintly hazy, some bubbles. sweet mango nose up front followed by a champaign kind of tartness. med/sugary body and slightly fizzy. mango flavour is very sweet and syrupy. not the best. it doesn’t seem artificial but it certainly is sickeningly sweet. not my favourite.

33cl bottle. Light, cloudy golden/orange colour with steady bubbles and a good head. The nose is of ripe mango, as expected. The taste has mango and cream. The palate is medium bodied, creamy and cleansing on the end. Overall, this is not very serious but it’s great fun.

Bottle, fruit based drink for the lady in the Marble pub, I shared it. Orange colour with a thin white head. Aroma of mango obviously, bit of sweetness. Flavour is pretty much the same. Not the worst Floris but not my thing thanks.
