Mango Drive

The Basics

Style - Belgian Wit w/Mango

ABV - 5.0%

Description

Mango forward and deliciously sweet, the subtle malt character of the underlying beer is accented with notes of fresh coriander, orange zest.

tHE NAME

We were being super creative with this one: it’s called Mango Drive because we used tons of gallons of fresh mango puree that people from around Coral Gables donated to us.

BEER FACT

Belgian witbiers, like all Belgian beers are known for their yeast character (similar to hefeweizens but with different expressions) and traditionally are not brewed with heavy spice additions or citrus. Adding those (coriander and sweet orange peel is most common) is a relatively new addition mostly from American markets and consumers.

The Ingredients

• Malts: Un-malted wheat, Pilsener Malt, and dextrin malts
