TASTING NOTES
Hazy pale straw; white head with fair retention. On the nose, moderately high juicy ripe mango, peach, and citrus peels were joined by hints of grassy, dank, and garlic-like aromas. Medium-full-bodied;moderately low carbonation. For the flavor profile, think of moderately strong juicy mangoes (without the sweetness) but with a pinch of crushed garlic. Some grapefruit and cantaloupe impressions were also noted at medium-low levels; supportive bready malt backbone. Moderate bitterness; low sweetness. Mango peel, garlic, and resin flavors lingered.
THE VERDICT
Juicy fruity mangoes meet garlicky dankess with Moksa’s Secret Stuff. Delicious and extremely crushable, this WeldWerks-Moksa collaboration is easily one of the memorable hazy beers we have tried this year. We were intrigued by how this beer remained juicy despite having low sweetness. Excellent.
