In 2015 Back Forty produced an experimental juicy mango and jalapeño IPA for a major beer competition. The experiment took 1st place and our brewers moved on to the next experiment. A year later, they decided to brew it again and again it took 1st place. We know how to take a hint, so here it is: Jalapango in a can!

Can from Sterk Amsterdam. Aroma is fruity hops with green Jalapeño chillies, sweetish mango, tropical notes, orange, and mild caramel malt. Flavour is moderate sweet and moderate to medium bitter with some chili burn. Body is above medium. Understandable polarising but I quite enjoyed it.

Can 35ml (Beer Republic, canned 06/01/2017)
Murky orange colour, small off-white head. Vegetably jalapeño aroma with barley grain notes. Medium to full bodied. Mango puree, vegetably jalapeño attached to the flavour. Some burn in the finish. Not a match made in heaven. Sweetish, hides its ABV welll.

355ml can [Jalapango]. Cloudy, orangey, deep golden colour with average, thick, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Tropical fruity hoppy and spicy aroma, notes of mango, passion fruit, hints of papaya, a peppery spicy chili touch. Taste is initially tropical fruity hoppy, notes of mango, passion fruit, hints of papaya, a peppery spicy touch of chili, some chipotle dirty- and smokiness, later the peppery spiciness is accumulating to "hot", thereby disguising the only "warm" alcoholic touch; full body, dangerously drinkable.

Can at home, Nivala. (as Jalapango). Color is slightly murky orange with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Spices, paprika, some pepper, some fruits and malts. Paprika + beer = horror. Very bad drinkability
