Bridge Road Brewers Mango Sour With Lime

A month or so after loading some 500 kilograms of berries into a beer, in the month of March Bridge Road again filled their brewery with the same amount of fruit to create Mango Sour With Lime. Like Very Berry Sour, the “Sessional Sour Beer” really pushes the limits of how beers meant to look, with it appearing far closer to a juiced mango over juiced malts in the glass (I know you don’t quite juice malts: please don’t email).

Mango Sour is not quite as syrupy as the path many breweries are following with their fruited sours, instead sticking a little closer to its gose origins for a minerality that cuts through mango’s fruitier notes while the lime assists in furthering tart notes to give the beer quite a mouth-puckering finish.
