Carpe Brewem Imperial Mango IPA

Draft. Mildly hazy color, thin lasting head. Aroma is very mild and comes off more like pineapple. Hints of yeast. The flavor is again pineapple with a note of mango. The bitterness is barely here as the fruit keeps it pretty sweet.

Medium in body with a sweet finish. Correct carbonation level and it shows no flaws. Overall, one of the better offerings from this brewery.

Draft/Fest. A- Mango, tropical fruits, pine, bitter. A- Orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Mango, tropical fruits, bitter. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, juicy finish. O- Didn’t get a ton of mango but it was there. I swear I had barrel aged version of this but it’s not on RateBeer and I don’t see it on Empyrean either, so who knows. I must just be dreaming it was barrel aged. Which honestly probably would’ve ruined it.

Draft at Great Nebraska Beer Fest. Hazy golden amber color, off white head. Aroma of tropical fruit. Taste has mango, pineapple, orange. Good balance.

Sampled from the tap at the St. Paul Summer Beer Fest. Pours a hazy golden orange with a bubbly white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma is full of rich sweet mango with a bit of citrus and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor is full of mango with a bit of sweet citrus and a bit of sweet grains backing.
