JYMI SAY’S…

Triple Fruited Mango is a fruited sour beer. Triple Fruited Mango is a fruited sour beer brewed by the Scottish wizards, Vault City.

So, the chances of this being a bad beer are virtually zero. And the chances of this being a very good beer are incredibly high.

TFM once released from it’s housing gives off an incredible aroma of, you guessed it, MANGO! Obvious, yes, but these things are not always delivered.

Then straight away from the first LARGE sip you know you’re dealing with a wee cracker. The flavour is ALL the mango with the tiniest hint of vanilla. It’s sweet upfront then rapidly moves to tart and then a lovely dry aftertaste, instantly teeing you up for your next hit. Delightful.

Thick yet refreshing. And though not necessarily sessionable, TFM is most certainly moreish and as predicted… a very good beer indeed.

SAMMY SAY’S…

In the realm of craft beer, few breweries can match the innovation and artistry of Vault City when it comes to a sour. Nestled in the heart of Scotland, this brewery has garnered a reputation for pushing boundaries and delighting palates with their bold and inventive brews. Today, we embark on a journey into one of their most tantalising creations: Triple Fruited Mango Sour.

As the golden elixir cascades into the glass, it conjures visions of liquid gold, shimmering in the sunlight. Its hue, reminiscent of ripe mangoes, hints at the luscious flavours waiting to be discovered within.

With each gentle swirl, the air is filled with the irresistible scent of soured mango. It’s a fragrance that transports the mind to sun-drenched orchards, where tropical fruits hang heavy on the boughs, waiting to be plucked and savoured. The aroma alone is enough to set the taste buds tingling in anticipation.

Ah, the taste! Here, Vault City’s Triple Fruited Mango truly shines. It’s evident that this brew is a masterpiece of flavour. Upon the first sip, a wave of tartness washes over the palate, awakening the senses with its zesty intensity. But what truly sets this beer apart is its remarkable balance. Despite the natural sweetness of mango, Vault City has managed to craft a beer that is refreshingly sour, with just the right hint of sweetness lingering on the tongue.

As the beer caresses the palate, it reveals a mouthfeel that is both luxurious and velvety. The texture is syrupy, yet not cloyingly sweet, leaving behind a pleasant coating that lingers long after the final sip.

In every aspect, Vault City’s Triple Fruited Mango is a triumph. From its enticing aroma to its well balanced flavour profile, this beer is a true delight for the senses. It’s a testament to the creativity and skill of the brewers at Vault City, who have unlocked the treasure trove of flavour hidden within the humble mango. So, raise your glass and toast to the mastery of craft brewing – with Vault City, the journey is always an adventure worth journeying on. Cheers!
