Bomber from CBC Waterbury, bottled 5/10/17, drunk 5/26/17.
Light tangerine-copper with little/no head and whatever there is quickly receding to nothing. Solid haziness, though not soupy.
Leafy, green, fresh hop notes are lightly spicy and also turn tropical allowing juicy mango to emanate forth lightly. Not hugely aromatic, mostly on account of the very low carbonation, it would seem. Clean, anyways, with no alcohol, resin or messy ester. Can certainly see the quality not quantity argument here.
In the mouth it has very low carbonation, indeed, and shows more of the soft, mild, lightly juicy mango with lightly bready malts and a touch of yeast fruitiness. Malty, but still on the drier side overall, with a soft, supple texture that would, of course, benefit from an injection of tight carbonation. Finish is fairly strong on the mango and malt, but is otherwise clean and very free of any resin, messy esters or alcohol.
