Matsos Mango Beer – 4.5% Alcohol
December 10, 2009 – 2:11 pm
Even without tasting this beer the retro style label tells you it is going to be a winner, after all who isn’t turned on by a chick that has a full fruit basket in her hair?
Pouring the bottle into a glass shows a beer pale gold in colour, on the nose this brew also lives up to its name with tropical mango aromas dominating.
On the palate it starts with a nice pleasant mango sweetness accompanied by a slight hop bitterness, follow by a brief flash of malt then back to mango flavours. Finishing dry with a slightly fruity after taste
Verdict: When drank super cold this numbers tastes closer to mango juice than a beer, warmed up the mango flavours blend well with the malt flavours. Very drinkable in hot weather I could see this being the perfect refreshment for a summer barbecue near the beach.
Score: 8.0 / 10

This beer looks like a good one. Don’t mind a bit of mango in my beer. Nice design on the bottle too
