Empyrean Carpe Brewem Imperial Mango I.P.A.

The Empyrean Brewing Company is in Lincoln, Nebraska. This is a 7.8% ABV India Pale Ale with natural mango flavor added.

The beer pours a deep amber in color. There is a half-inch of white to off-white foam. The aroma is mango puree, with some underlying citrus fruit hops. The taste follows the aromas, with a bitter finish. This is a mango nectar delivery device, with the beer just apparent under the surface, and a very bitter IPA finish. The beer drinks with strong carbonation and refreshment.
