Gose w/Mango, Lime and Habanero Peppers
Sweet and sour mango with lime, finished by a gentle habanero kick. A refreshing gose that smooths you in – then bites back.
Mango Bites Back is a gose built on contrast. The base is lightly sour and refreshing with a subtle salinity true to the style. A generous addition of mango brings a full, slightly sweet fruit character, while lime sharpens the profile with bright acidity. Then comes the habanero. Not as a gimmick, but as seasoning. The heat appears gradually in the finish – first you get juicy mango and citrus, then a warming, gently spicy kick that lingers and invites another sip. The result is a balanced yet expressive beer: sweet and sour at first, followed by a subtle bite. Just like the name promises.

Med-thin bod, light carbo. Med-light sweet and sour, med-high chilli hotness, hits you straight up front, no foreplay. Med mango, med chilli flavour. Light lacto funk. Intense, good, real chilli beer.

0.5 l can thanks to Marko who brought it from Prague, shared with Ogi and him. Hazy orange, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, tropical, dried mango, zest, candy and ginger (candy). Flavour is ginger and lime and lemon candy with a hint of habanero hotness. Smooth, medium body, some salt, some chilli pepper. Finishes moderate dry.

Tap at Vrátnice, thx Danielle! Hazy orange body, off-white, thick head. Sharp lime and chilli aroma, mango in the background. Lean, dry, salty lime-mango taste with a good clean chilli kick. It bites back indeed. Maybe a bit too dried out but still works.
