This IPA achieves a balanced blend of bitterness and fruitiness, with real mango adding an extra tropical dimension to the hop aroma.

This IPA achieves a balanced blend of bitterness and fruitiness, with real mango adding an extra tropical dimension to the hop aroma.

This is how the brewery describes their Here Comes Mango IPA on their website:

"If you're a fan of Mel Brooks (Note 1) films, you'll surely love this exquisite, fruity IPA.

Just no punches to the face."

This is a play on the famous line "Don't hit my face!" (Note 2) from Mel Brooks' slapstick comedy "Blazing Saddles," explaining that this beer is "a beer that has achieved the ultimate balance by using mango instead of too strong a punch."

True to Belching Beaver's love for jokes, the beer has proper hop aroma and bitterness, but the fruity and juicy mango flavor creates a perfect balance, resulting in an exquisitely balanced overall beer.

It pours a bright golden color with a white head.

Citrus fruit and lemongrass aromas from Amarillo and Simcoe hops are followed by natural mango notes.

The flavor is a very good balance of juicy mango, a subtle honey-like malt sweetness, and pleasant hop bitterness.

It has a light to medium body, leading to a dry finish that isn't cloyingly sweet.

Neither the mango nor the hops overpower the other, resulting in a very drinkable IPA with a delicate balance.

Note 1) Known as a master of American comedy films.

Active as a screenwriter, actor, producer, and director.

Currently 92 years old.

Note 2) A line spoken by the director of a dance show who is attacked by thugs.

After being punched in the body and falling, he mutters, "Thank you..."
