About This Beer

For a long, long time, you couldn’t get your hands on a mangosteen in the U.S. These fruits were so elusive, you had to fly all the way to Thailand just to get a taste of the tart, pleasantly acidic tropical juices.

But now, that 16+ hour flight is a thing of the past – what’s more, the Oregon brew crew loaded it in a pleasantly hopped beer, for our enjoyment! While we’re willing to bet you’ve never tried a mangosteen, the flavors are familiarly refreshing and delightful.

Tasting Notes

Each sip starts with a hint of guava tartness, followed by smooth, sweet flavors of papaya and cantaloupe juice. On the finish, a brisk, sharp note comes through, like a prickly pear. No, seriously I mean it. I’m sipping some as I write this and I was NOT expecting that! The crisp, light finish is oh-so-satisfying.

Not going to lie… the best IPA I’ve ever had. if you’re looking for a IPA that is fruit forward and light hops look not further.

Who says west coast can’t do east coast? This IPA drips with fruity sweetness but stops short of being too sugary. A barely detectable aftershock of hop that seems like a pinch of guava. If you love a soft and tropical hopbomb, you found it.

As far as juicy haze bombs go, this is basically perfection. Notes of ripe melon, grapefruit, papaya, guava, passionfruit, and fresh pineapple all slap you in the face. Yum

It was a solid IPA. It came across as a bit diluted but the smell was to die for.

Wow… tropical 🏝️, sweet, juicy, and dry crisp with hopped! Pretty smooth and over ripe for sure. Mangosteen flavor is definitely different, and i think I’m getting ripe banana, and cantaloupe flavor in here as well! True to rating 4.25-4.3’s

From last week: Very fruity. Smells more like mango than it tastes. Fruit > IPA.

Very enjoyable fruity IPA. Fruit is well balanced with the bitterness. Medium carbonation and body. Would be a great go to IPA if only it was local.
