hopdog (19493) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 11, 2017On tap at Vivant. Poured a golden color with a small sized head. I usually dislike habanero beers as they are too hot, but the peppers here complemented everything. Peppers, fruity mangoes, and some tartness. Lighter spice / burn = good for me.
SudsMcDuff (8592) - .....Manchester United.........., Texas, USA - MAY 26, 2017Habanango sounds like a racial slur .. . light copper .. easy on the foam .. . light light mango, brett, and pepper .. very lacking in flavor, mouth is sturdy enough but it’s like drinking steam .. .
Stylurus (57) - Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA - DEC 9, 2016Juicy, sour, oak funk, and spicy. The mango is nice with the peppery habanero. Worth a try if one likes sours and the warmth of peppers.
chucklemation (2764) - Royal Oak, Michigan, USA - JUL 20, 2016Pours a hazy copper with a thin white head. Aroma is oak, funk, and fruit. Flavor is mango, oak, funk, and a touch of spicy heat from the habanero. Soft carbonation and tart. Neat beer and well done.
superspak (9600) - Greensboro, North Carolina, USA - JUL 19, 2016500 ml bottle into tulip glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours hazy golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of lightly tart mango, peach, apricot, pineapple, strawberry, lemon, pear, pepper, white wine, oak, cracker, bread, hay, straw, light funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast, mango/habanero, oak, and moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of lightly tart mango, peach, apricot, pineapple, strawberry, lemon, pear, pepper, white wine, oak, cracker, bread, hay, straw, light funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Light fruit tartness and habanero/yeast/tannic oak spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of mango, peach, apricot, pineapple, strawberry, lemon, pear, pepper, white wine, cracker, bread, hay, straw, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, mango/habanero, oak, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Lightly drying from tart/spiciness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, lightly acidic/tannic, and grainy/creamy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol; with very mild pepper heat building up through the glass. Overall this is a very nice fruited Brett wild ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy yeast, mango/habanero, oak, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, with the balanced tartness and pepper spice. A very enjoyable offering.
