We have really enjoyed all of the beers we bought from The Durham Brewery, all except this one.
The aroma had a subtle fruitiness to it, but it wasn't particularly mango scented.
The flavour was extremely bland, tasting of little more than slightly sweet water, and there was absolutely no mango flavour, which was surprising as it is made using real mango juice. And we couldn't taste the typical wheat flavour of banana and cloves.
German Hefeweizen traditionally has a pleasant yeasty depth to it, but this brew was sadly lacking.
It's not a beer we'd buy again.
We do like all of the other beers we've tried from The Durham Brewery, so no doubt we'll be buying more in the future.
From the label -
Cloudy wheat beer combined with real mango juice creating a refreshing summer drink.
A sweet, fruity aroma of mango and banana is followed by a smooth creamy expression of mango and spice. Wheaty fullness develops into thirst quenching mango in the finish.
This beer is bottle-conditioned.
There is a live sediment which continues to mature and develop the flavour and character.
Store upright at cool room temperature.
This beer is intentionally hazy so gently invert the bottle before opening.
Natural; not filtered.
Serve chilled.
This beer may be lively so have a glass to hand when opening.
Contains water, mango juice, barley, wheat, hops and yeast.
Suitable for vegans.
