Liefmans de Boomgaard Tropicale

Formerly brewed at Liefmans (Moortgat)
Style: Fruit Beer
Oudenaarde, Belgium

Slightly sour aroma of apricots and mangos. Hazy apricot color with tiny bubbles and a bit of a head which did not persist. Starts with a confusing blend of fruit, mango quickly dominates and disappears into a light fruitiness. Carbonation is light. Hint of tart/sour. Very low key. Nice on a hot central valley day.

Bartles and James anyone. Okay, you can’t be surprised by this one, but it does come off as soda pop. It is missing the workmanship that makes other fruit beers taste a little like beer with fruit.

On the sweeter side, but very refreshing, not something I’d drink often, but for the occational drink, its good. Mango is the dominate flavor, with some tartness.ok.

Interesting, not what I would call tropical, but different. Wildly fruity nose, some spicy sweetness, with some passionfruit and mango, mixed with the same recipe as the Peche.

Bottle: Golden yellow, light head, some lacing. Nose if fruity, some mango and little spice. Flavor is a lot like the peach, with some basic mangoness going on. Along the same lines as the Peche, just blagh.

Pour is clear golden yellow with a thin dense white head...smell is chemical sweet with some definate "tropical" fruit...whether it was mango or not, I could not say...taste is artificial sweetner, faint fruity tartness, blech...

(375ml bottle) Pours a clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma of florals, grass, mango juice, and a hint of smoke. Sweet flavor of corn syrup and mango juice with a somewhat sticky finish.

Bottle. Pours a light copper/amber color, without much of a head. Aroma captures the essence of mango, with some yeast and some spices. You can taste the mango with the first sip. There is definitely some sweetness, but not over-powering. Very crisp and very refreshing.
