Clown Shoes Mangö

Clown Shoes Mangö is an American Kölsch, dry hopped, with natural mango flavor added.

The beer pours with a nice light golden/yellow color with some orange hues, a good white head that never fades totally away and provides good lacing. Yup, this is a fruity beer as advertised. I’m a bit overwhelmed by the mango in the aroma at first, but a bit of bready malt and grain does come out after I get used to the strong fruit smell. Still fruity in the taste but the mango is much more mild. More of the base beer comes out with a nice cracker malt flavor and a slightly bitter and spicy hop bite on the finish.

I’m glad I tried this, Clown Shoes is pretty much always worth a shot, but this was a bit too much of a Fruit Beer for my personal tastes.
