A blend composed of beers from a diversity of barrels ranging from 16 to 30 months and further aged on organic, hand peeled mangos... many, many mangos, thanks to the able assistance of some great volunteers!

Bottle shared during the RateBeer Best awards ceremony bottle share. Cheers, Julien! Pours lightly hazy gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds tangy citrus, moderate farmhouse funk, damp hay, barn. Light sweet flavour with notes of juicy tangerine and grapefruit, cleaned up with a little bit of woody dryness. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Clean on the finish, with more musty hay and tart citrus fruits. Excellent.

[1/30/16] Bottle sample at the Encomium bottle share, after RateBeer Best awards ceremony at Hyatt Vineyard Creek Hotel in Santa Rosa. Thanks everyone who shared bottles! Cloudy yellow. Fruity, funky, oaky, floral, zesty. Tart, refreshing. Great stuff.

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow color ale with a white foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of sour notes with hints of mango. Taste is also mostly dominated by strong sour notes with quite a bit of acidity and hints of mango. Body is about average with good carbonation. I find that a lot of the complexity gets overshadowed by the level of acidity in this beer.

75cl bottle via trade, thanks to Dfroms. Shared with Pierre T. Batch#15, bottled 2015-08-12. Dorée trouble, versant vers l’orange, col épais blanc crémeux et persistant. Arôme met d’office les narines en éveille, vin blanc, raisin en grappe, rétro boisé avec de belles effluves fruitées tropicales de mangue. Retrouve une petite pointe de levure qui procure un caractère léger fleuri. Palais est agréable, bien relevé au niveau fruité et ce côté tropical de la mangue. Retrouve un aspect caractéristique de la mangue avec ce profil épicé finement aigrelet, filandreux. Avec un peu de temps, le profil tropical devient nettement plus intense et se prête superbement au caractère boisé et fruité vin blanc de la barrique - des barriques. Fini est râpeux relevé par cette fine astringence, levure.
