577. Deschutes Brewery (Bend, OR) - Farmstand Fresh Mango IPA

“We sought to create an IPA that brought huge mango flavor from aroma to finish. The experience is like traveling to a tropical locale and grabbing a mango from a farm stand and placing it in your IPA and hanging in your hammock.”

Yep…it’s a mango IPA, all right. The flavor is big up front, and it lingers well past the back end. It’s almost cloying, but they wisely build in a dry finish that gives the beer a nice balance. There might even be a hint of coconut in there.
