Tasting notes
-
Nose
Mango, lime, and tropical hops — juicy fruit with a bright citrus-hop edge, fresh rather than candy-sweet.
-
Palate
Juicy mango from the first sip. Lime and citrus zest keep the line bright; soft malt cushions the mid-palate. Tropical hops carry through. A subtle chili-salt spice arrives late — fruit leads, bitterness stays present, spice stays gentle.
-
Finish
Fruity, bitter, and gently spicy — clears into a short mango-hop and chili-salt edge without sticky hang.
The beer
Spice last. The can pours haze and the sip is mango before it is heat — juicy mango and lime open, tropical hops keep the line bright, soft malt cushions the mid-palate, then a subtle chili-salt prickle arrives late enough to matter without hijacking the glass. That is why ninety sticks: fruit and hop clarity with a finish that is not one-note.
Juicy through the middle. Soft malt holds weight so the puree fruit never turns thin juice. Bitterness lands clean alongside the spice. What remains is fruity, bitter, and gently spicy — mango-hop and chili-salt on a short close that clears. The hang does not stick.
It will not give you West Coast resin or heavy malt. It gives you fruited hazy IPA with structure and a custom spice edge — mango that stays juicy, lime that stays bright, hops that stay tropical, chili-salt that stays gentle. Serve it well chilled, straight from the can or a tulip. Warm, the mango softens and the chili fattens; cold keeps the lime and hop zest sharp. For anyone wanting a serious NA fruited IPA pour with more than one note, that juicy gently spicy line is the point.
