Tasting notes
Funky Fluid Free Gelato - Mango Sticky Rice Ice Cream Sour Tasting Notes:
Appearance: A hazy, golden-yellow pour reminiscent of ripe mango flesh greets the eye, capped by a thin, white head that dissipates slowly, leaving delicate lacing on the glass.
Aroma: The nose is instantly hit with an aromatic wave of tropical mango, complemented by a creamy sweetness that evokes the comforting scent of sticky rice. A hint of tangy lactic sourness adds complexity and depth to the bouquet.
Flavour: On the palate, this beer unfolds like a rich dessert. The initial taste is a lush blend of mango purée and coconut cream, leading into the subtle, grainy notes of glutinous rice. The sour profile is gentle but assertive, providing a refreshing contrast that prevents the sweetness from overwhelming, and instead, heightens the exotic fruitiness.
Mouthfeel: The body is medium and velvety, akin to a well-whipped sorbet. Light carbonation dances on the tongue, ensuring each sip remains lively and effervescent, leading to an almost creamy sensation akin to a dairy-free gelato.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, with the lingering taste of mango and a subtle tartness that invites another sip. A faint hint of vanilla and a whisper of coconut milk smoothness conclude the experience, leaving a memorable aftertaste that fully captures the essence of mango sticky rice ice cream.
