Trade Route Mango Weizen

The Brewers:
Brewmaster: Joe Valvo
Company: Trade Route Brewing Company
Location: 1091 Valentine Ave SE Pacific, Washington

The Beer:
Style: Weizen
ABV: 5%
Brewed with: Mango
Served:  Bomber purchased at Halftime of Poughkeepsie

The Drink:
20 oz. Newcastle footed Pilsner (I think)

Beer pours bright, crystal clear amber with a thin head that dissipates quickly, leaving no lace.  

Aroma of mangos/fruit and mild acidity; very champagne-like.  

Beer starts with a high carbonation buzz and tartness.  Middle is thin and fruity with a strong sour flavor.  Finish is quick, sour and fruity, and there is a moderate build in mango sweetness.  

Overall:
Not much to say about this beer, it's exactly as the label describes: mango weizen.  Sour and fruity with a good carbonation, this is an extremely simple and refreshing beer.  Another one that's perfect for a hot summer's day.  Though the website for the brewery is no longer active, I haven't been able to find out if they've closed or not.  If they are gone, pick this up where you can find it and enjoy it while it lasts.
