fonefan (4468), Ulfborg, Denmark Jul 1, 2008 Draught @<a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=8244 target=_new> Zero Degrees, Reading RG1, England. Unclear light yellow color with a small to average, frothy - fizzy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate yeasty, light fruity - mango. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light acidic with a average to long duration. Body is medium to light, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft - flat. (040508) Pub (4046), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England Oct 21, 2007 On tap at Zero Degrees, Reading, Berks. Clouded gold with slight head. Sweet, syrupy beer?? was there any Mango there, I don’t think so. Pretty bad. harrisoni (5129), Ashford, Kent, England Apr 26, 2007 On tap at Zerodegrees, Blackheath. Like the waiter I was talking to said, it’s like the wheat beer, but with sweeter mango. Bang on. Bit nasty though soapy and a tad artificial. Ungstrup (11154), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 13, 2007 Draft at the brewpub in London, July 2006. An unclear light yellow beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of wheat and fruit. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of mango, as well as some notes of wheat. The sweetness and a very high level of carbonation reminds me of a sodapop. Fin (2189), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Oct 27, 2006 Had this on draught at the Zerodegrees brewpub, Bristol, 26-10-06. Cloudy orange in colour, some carbonation, mmhh.. not quite sure what to make of this it was quite crisp and certainly refreshing and the mangoes were there but I found them to be more of an aftertaste. The aroma was a little yeasty but owing to fact that that there was quite a bit of action appearing to go on behind the bar where I was sat with vessels being opened, the bar as you might suspect smelt very much like a brewery so it was difficult to get an accurate take on the aroma. When I came out of this bar I remembered what this reminded me of and it was one of those rubicon canned exotic soft drinks I’ve had the Mango flavour and that beer whilst nowhere near as sweet defintaley had more than a nod in the direction of one of those drinks. Not really my thing.
