Mango Sorbet

Mango and honey aroma. The flavor is very sweet with honey and mango balanced pretty well. I wish it wasn’t quite so sweet but it works alright here.

$5 single from Appalachian. Maybe 6 months in the fridge. Canned 5/02/24, batch 1015. An odd 209 calories.

Pint glass at home.

Clear, oily, pale-medium gold pour; soda sizzle.
More like sweaty papaya than sweet mango my nose think; sticky honey & apple juice. Slight fermented foulness.
Taste is apple-pear juice box & over-ripe mango with a slick clover honey backend. Can taste the caked sulfite powder. Medium sweet with some desperate acidity to cut it.
Texture is all malic acid & sticky soda. Very faint tannins.

Not horrible. Though none of these session meads from B Nectar have been any good.

Get lots of black pepper on the nose but it’s lost in the flavor. Nice ripe mango flavor that starts sweet but has a slight lingering tartness, more skin with a cider than a mead. Very tasty though.

12 ounce can from Ridgeview Liquor, 5/13/22. Clear gold, thin fizzy head that doesn't last. Aroma of pepper, mango, vinous notes. Very dry. Taste is vinous notes, mango, vanilla, hint of pepper. Good balance. Solid.
