This fruited Hefeweizen was brewed with refreshment and approachability in mind. A true crowd pleaser with a touch of tropical sweetness on a soft malt bill. The Mango addition makes this wheat beer standout and the name celebrates the exceptional……the Calutron Girls. The Calutron Girls were a group of women who, due to labor shortages during WW2, were recruited to work at the top-secret Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, TN. These women were tasked with monitoring and adjusting the dials and meters on a mass spectrometer that produced the enriched uranium used in the first Atomic bomb. They did all this with an extremely high level of efficiency, with ZERO knowledge of their true job function or what the dials they were monitoring and adjusting controlled. A manager at the Oak Ridge facility reportedly would tell new Calutron girls, “We can train you how to do what is needed, but cannot tell you what you are doing. I can only tell you that if our enemies beat us to it, God have mercy on us!” This beer is dedicated to the many unsung and under-appreciated contributions made by so many women during the war effort.

Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Pours a near clear yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice slightly tart mango with wheat and a hint of clove underlying. Flavor is similar with mango supported by wheat and just a touch of clove.

12 oz draft at BJ's in Las Vegas. Pours a hazy gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Light lacing. Light citrus aroma. Strong mango flavor, much stronger than the aroma. Light wheat base beer. More of a fruit beer than a wheat ale. Smooth and clean. Medium-light body. Lower than expected carbonation. Not bitter. Very similar to a Mango Cart. Enjoyable.

Pint on tap at brewery. Hazy Amber beer with a thin white head. Definitely mango on the nose, touch of bread. Tasty, kinda works. The mango is prominent, the wheat beer less so. Bitter fruit finish. Doesn't quite gel but a brave attempt. Still nice drinking.
