0.33 l can, thanks to my family for this one. Pours hazy, deep orange and white head. Nose is huge fruity bomb, mango, grapefruit, orange and also some pineapple come through. In taste it's somewhat less complex, bitter with a grapefruity hint and some sweetness, but I get no pronounced mango. Short, bittersweet fruity finish, light body and average carbo. Good one.

Can from Sainsbury's, Wycombe. Vividly clear yellowy-gold with a large white head and a light fizz. The mango is there but it's very muted. There's some white bread and then quite a bit of spiciness (white pepper and coriander seed) before the dry finish. It's disappointingly dull - I was hoping for a fresher, more vibrant beer with more evidence of the mango and hops. Oh well.

Je regrette tout de même que la promesse de la mangue ne soit pas réellement tenue sur cette pale ale. Si l'on ne tient pas compte de cela, cette Drygate est une pale ale fruitée agréable et avec une bonne intensité du haut de ses 5,3 %. Le visuel est sur un blond clair légèrement voilé avec une très fine effervescence peu poussée et quasiment pas de mousse. Le nez ne présente pas une mangue dominante tout en étant appréciable sur des arômes de céréales, citron vert, herbes, orange et mangue (tout de même). L'attaque est sur une amertume sympathique très légèrement acidulée. L'ensemble est frais et agréable avec toutefois un fruit que je ne trouve pas assez sur les devants et des arômes herbacés trop présents. La corpulence est très honnête et l'alcool fait largement le job. L'arrière bouche est quant à elle sur une amertume plus simple, mais un peu plus affirmée donnent du relief à la bière. Le final, d'une bonne longueur est pour sa part moins amer mais également moins passionnant. Pas assez fruitée mais se laisse bien déguster.
