Weyerbacher Nineteen

For the past nine years Weyerbacher has produced a limited run beer in honor of their anniversary. I missed ten through thirteen, but have reviewed them all since (links will be provided below). This year, the nineteenth anniversary is celebrated with a mango wheat beer. There's lots of mango in nineteen (XIX) - you can smell it as soon as you pop the top, and the flavor is very strong and sweet. It pours a cloudy apricot hue, with a porous three finger head that quickly recedes to some lacing. The mango tends to overwhelm any subtlety that the wheat might have provided, but if you're patient, it comes through. Medium hoppiness, tart - but very refreshing; but beware that 10% ABV!
